It is inferior in that the ffmpeg people say it is inferior (https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/AAC ) and one assumes they know what they are talking about.
However, I do not understand. The code is in a separate package in multiverse, as it is non-free, but why ffmpeg cannot be compiled with its support? This non-free code would not be included in the ffmpeg binary and I assume the bindings in the binary are free. How is this different from proprietary modules in the kernel, for example? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1449905 Title: Add Fraunhofer FDK AAC support to ffmpeg package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ffmpeg/+bug/1449905/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
