So the library with full capabilities would presumably have to stay in rpmfusion (at least until the remaining patents expire, which I last saw estimated to be around 2025/6), and the question on the table is the group (nonfree vs free). Yes. Moving to fedora is out of the question for now. My request is only about where in rpmfusion this package should be. -- tobias ___ rpmfusion-developers mailing list -- rpmfusion-developers@lists.rpmfusion.org To unsubscribe send an email to rpmfusion-developers-le...@lists.rpmfusion.org

The Fraunhofer AAC library supports capabilities that FFmpeg itself (if not compiled with the fdk library) does (did?) not support, such as HEv1/2. And, of course, it is a different library API from FFmpeg itself. ___ rpmfusion-developers mailing list -- rpmfusion-developers@lists.rpmfusion.org To unsubscribe send an email to rpmfusion-developers-le...@lists.rpmfusion.org
Moving fdk-aac to -free?
The fedora fdk free package isn't equal to the rpmfusion package. They use a different source code which has the patented code removed.

Hi there, I would like to have view from others contributor on the topic, not only my own point of view... Also can you clarify why you need this over using the internal ffmpeg AAC codec ?
