Hello, >Yeah it is incorrect :)
I stand corrected then =) >MPEG-2 AAC vs. MPEG-4 AAC? What's uncompliant about that. Both are different >specifications so they can differ (they don't except for a bit set to 1 in >the ADTS header). And MPEG-4 AAC introduced 2 new coding tools not available >in MPEG-2 AAC. Yeah, it's little things, but as long as those little things have importance, I for one am gonna wait a little, at least as long as I have alternative more "proven" formats, like OGG and MP3 (when you have LAME you don't need AAC that much, but if you have RealOne or some other crap, you do ;). And besides, it's not all little things, like when MPEG-4 went V2 in 1999. Maybe I'm a bit paranoid, but... >Yes, what I mean is: Is it already implemented in Vorbis? Not that I know. >(please correct me if I'm wrong). I've read posts on vorbis.com about people testing it, and I'm almost 100% it's implemented in the format, but as far as I know there aren't any (working) streaming software yet to utilize the "peeling technology". >That's probably because the AAC tracks in the MP4 files are signalled as >MPEG-2 AAC, which are not played back by QuickTime (don't know about Media >Center). That's a problem in QuickTime, not in the encoder (yes, decoders >can be uncompliant as well :) ). I tried tweaking every setting in the encoders I downloaded, but the files wouldn't play. But, like you say, it could be the decoder. And besides, it's a couple of months ago, so maybe it'd work now. >Well, here's something I heard (and did not look into for myself), but I >heard that Vorbis has to go through some difficulties because of patents on >this side (something with Ambisonics or something). This is what I heard >from some knowledgable Vorbis people :) That sounds terrible! I hope they get out of it. I still think the best reason to choose ogg is that it's open and free. I read a little on the link you mailed - do you know if an ISO compliant AAC file supports gapless encoding/playback unlike ISO compliant MP3?
