Now to compress a video and save all the tracks?

I have an HD movie (.mov, .mp4, ...) including some audio tracks and some subtitles. I'm glad watching them with Apple TV, but now I just need to compress one of them to something much smaller, but... but with the same tracks (video, audios, subtitlesss). I tried QT, but it doesn't keep all tracks.

Is there any Apple's way? Thanks

OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

If you create a project that has surround 5.1, you can export 5 audio tracks.

If you have more than 5 channels, you can export the audio as roles (see the Help system).

If you need the subtitles to be user-switchable on and off, you must use a subtitling application that will create a special file to be handled by your media player. Not trivial.


What you're asking is complicated, probably, and there seems to be a bit of a translation issue.

That's exactly what I need. But the point is - a video ( a movie) includes 2 audio tracks (original one and one in other language) and a set of subtitles (3), which I can switch in QT or some other players.

I just need to reduce resolution and bitrate of a video with having all audio audios and all subtitles. Of course, I can get a resolution down with QT, Final Cut and like this and after that add all absent tracks (audios and subtitles) from original, using Subler (with no additional recompressing a video), but it will be kind of 2-steps procedure. I guess there is a simpler solution
