[Bug 6366] Re: Please enable AAC Support in ffmpeg
When I upgraded to Karmic, I had to rebuild ffmpeg from source with aac support. Ever since, it doesn't work correctly. The sound quality is significantly degraded when encoding wav to aac, even on audio that previously worked fine with the exact same settings. So something is definitely wrong now, so building a repo package would be far preferable. -- Please enable AAC Support in ffmpeg https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/6366 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have the same issue as Yves. I have libfaac0 and libfaad0 installed. I'm on Karmic. On Jaunty I could encode videos with ffmpeg that my phone (which has Symbian S60 5th edition) could play.

[Bug 6366] Re: Please enable AAC Support in ffmpeg
I believe it's important to have two versions of ffmpeg. One that's as it is now, and one that has AAC and AMR support. You see, it's not just AAC that's missing, but also the AMR support that lets you encode 3GP videos for cellphones. And the AMR guys are even more strict than Dolby who chases away everyone who touches AAC. So I think that it makes sense to create a version of ffmpeg that has full support for the non-free stuff, rather than just AAC.
