Dear List, ffmpeg/avconv aborts even with -strict experimental when input file audio is encoded with AAC. Does the audio *have* to be decoded? I was thinking there might be some kind of pass-through option.
The behavior of ffmpeg and avconv appears to be identical. $ avconv -acodec aac -strict experimental -i "S3 D5 Irene.mov" -b 500k "S3 D5 Irene.m4v" avconv version 0.8.5-6:0.8.5-1, Copyright (c) 2000-2012 the Libav developers built on Jan 13 2013 12:05:48 with gcc 4.7.2 Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'S3 D5 Irene.mov': Metadata: major_brand : qt minor_version : 537199360 compatible_brands: qt creation_time : 2012-06-22 13:23:05 Duration: 00:23:33.81, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 614 kb/s Stream #0.0(eng): Video: h264 (Main), yuv420p, 640x480, 478 kb/s, 29.97 fps, 29.97 tbr, 2997 tbn, 5994 tbc Metadata: creation_time : 2012-06-22 13:23:05 Stream #0.1(eng): Audio: aac, 48000 Hz, stereo, s16, 130 kb/s Metadata: creation_time : 2012-06-22 13:23:06 File 'S3 D5 Irene.m4v' already exists.
