Comparison
The above 4 MP4 joiners have gained much popularity from users. However, each of them has their own advantages and disadvantages. Free Video Joiner can only support joining files in limited formats and speed of joining files is very slow. You may feel very annoyed for unexpected files installed on your PC when you try to use MP4Joiner for joining files. Sometimes, it seems that you have installed it on your computer successfully, but you can not run it when you try to click its icon. So it is not a very stable program.
Comparatively speaking, Video Converter Studio has a very streamlined interface and provides you many additional powerful features. You will be very satisfied by its fast speed for joining and high quality of the outputted video. ApowerEdit is also a good tool for joining files. When it comes to video editing, it will win out among them for its professional features, but it doesn’t come with extra functions like Video Converter Studio.
