[Bug 1449905] Re: Add Fraunhofer FDK AAC support to ffmpeg package
Thank you for the response. I used this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~samrog131/+archive/ubuntu/ppa , which includes ffmpeg with FDK support. It is a pretty good PPA, since includes ffmpeg update-alternatives option too, which is very useful since you can have various ffmpeg versions installed in this way. -- 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

As Carl Eugen explained this bug is invalid. You can use the native AAC encoder and report specific bugs if you encounter any issues with it. ** Changed in: ffmpeg (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- 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
[Bug 1449905] Re: Add Fraunhofer FDK AAC support to ffmpeg package
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
[Bug 1449905] Re: Add Fraunhofer FDK AAC support to ffmpeg package
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

As Carl Eugen already explained, we can't enable the Fraunhofer FDK AAC encoder for legal reasons. Have you tried the native aac encoder (-c:a aac -strict -2)? If you can give some details in which way it is inferior to the Fraunhofer FDK AAC, it could be improved accordingly. Otherwise we'll have to close this bug as won't fix.
