>The obvious solution is to, you know.... not use stupid proprietary codecs?
William, this is NOT a solution. This is not about creating a video to watch on my computer. If that was the case I would have used Ogg/theora. But I am trying to get a video on my cellphone. Cellphones use either the very low quality 3GP format, or the better MP4+AAC. They don't playback anything else. As you can understand, I can't do anything about it, I can't change the industry. I need AAC. >the AAC libraries (faac/faad) would need to go to main Please note that the problem is not installing the faac/faad packages. The problem is recompiling ffmpeg with these options: --enable-faad --enable-faac Without specifically recompiling ffmpeg with these options, having faac/faad installed won't help. -- Please enable AAC Support in ffmpeg https://launchpad.net/bugs/6366 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
