Re: AAC Constant Bit Rate coding

["John O'Connell" <johngerardoconnell@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

You could try ffmpeg: www.ffmpeg.org

Open source and handles pretty much anything you throw at it.

This line should convert a wav to aac. 

ffmpeg -i file.wav -ab 128k -acodec libfaac test.mp4

It seems to ignore the audio bit-rate flag though (-ab 128k) - perhaps for reasons mentioned previously 

This is what I get inside test.mp4: Audio: aac, 44100 Hz, stereo, s16, 141 kb/s

Cheers,

John

I use xld to encode to aac. It uses core audio to do the encoding.

Dear list,

Could somebody recommend a free software, or even better some
open-source code, for converting audio from WAV to AAC with *constant*
bit rate (and not variable bit rate).

Any help would be much appreciated.
Best,
