Hello, I'm considering encoding all my local content in the HD-AAC format, since this format should allow me to "encode once, transcode many" (i.e. encode a single file from which you can easily - without much horsepower - retrieve different versions with different quality depending on bandwidth availability). The format can scale from lossless (at ratio approx. 2:1) and down to 128 kbps, and is backwards compatible with standard AAC.
More info here: www.hd-aac.com I know the format is still not widely adopted (yet?), but do you have any plans on supporting the format natively sometime in the future? This way you could easily allow a setting for transcoding to a lower bit rate if streaming to a "low-bandwidth device" without actually re-encoding the file.
