MKV and MP4 Videos Meta Tag Editors for OS X
Sometimes we may come across mkv or mp4 videos where misnomer meta tagging is embedded in the file, e.g. upon launch a title appears across the video that doesn’t match the actual filename of the video or it could be you simply want to embed your own meta tags into your video collection for easier file searches?
The good news is you can edit/remove the meta tags using the following apps made for OS X:
- MKVToolNix for mov file formats

- By default MetaZ will prompt to indicate what kind of video it is, make a selection and click OK:
- Make the necessary amendments to the various fields under Info Tab:
