Dynamic linking is exactly the same as "including". You cannot fulfil the requirements of the GPL for Fraunhofer AAC FDK, so it is not legal to distribute FFmpeg binaries with Fraunhofer AAC FDK library enabled if GPL was enabled for FFmpeg. Please close this bug, there is nothing that can be done about it.
The native AAC encoder is of course not as good as the Fraunhofer AAC encoder. Patches exist to improve our encoder, the quality will be improved after the Google Summer of Code. -- 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
