![]() ![]() If you have a suggestion, I'd love to hear it. Other converters have other issues, like the overall stability, not being able to support several audio tracks, requiring too many external components that don't always play well together etc. I also don't know if Handbrake's LibAV libraries are the most current. I was not quite sure if its LibAV libraries were the same as those referred to in the FFMPEG announcement. If this appears too much trouble to you, then use ffmpeg's AAC encoder which is certainly not bad (better than most MP3 encoders for sure) and may improve in the future but for now, you may have to get used to slightly increase the target bitrate over your previous threshold of acceptable quality. Then you can add it to your Handbrake installation. Unzip to a separate directory and execute the included batch file a MinGW compiler environment will be downloaded, together with the encoder sources, and run the compilation automatically. Subjective quality tests put the encoder to be of equal or greater quality than most of the other encoders available to the public."Īs you can see in the comparison results on hydrogenaud.io, the average of all participants reported ffmpeg's AAC encoder not to preserve as much quality as Fraunhofer's AAC encoder, which you may use if you build your own binary from sources, but you may not distribute the compiled binary (that's their license).įortunately, it is rather easy to have a binary compiled on Windows, using the fdkaac_autobuild suite you can download from the qaac download area. The encoder is transparent at 128kbps for most samples tested with artifacts only appearing in extreme cases. "December 5th, 2015, The native FFmpeg AAC encoder is now stable!Īfter seven years the native FFmpeg AAC encoder has had its experimental flag removed and declared as ready for general use. Is the below FFmpeg announcement applicable to Handbrake? I don't quite understand the FFmpeg/LibAV situation'. Hopefully it will eventually become on-par with FDK. ![]() Please also be aware that if you are distributing any previous 0.10.x you must cease doing so now due to licensing issues.Īccording to Handbrake see HandBrake - AAC Encode Change the quality of the LibAV AAC encoder is lacking in comparison to FDK but is passable for most."We are looking into upgrading LibAV to get further improvements in their AAC encoder. ![]() Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control we can no longer include binary distributions of HandBrake which include the FDK-AAC encoder. I don't see that they changed the x264 encoder. Is the FFmpeg AAC encoder a viable alternative to Fraunhofer's FDK-AAC encoder which is no longer included with Handbrake? The main benefit of installing the new Handbrake release is in updated x265 encoder (1.9). ![]()
