[Bf-committers] Fwd: Copyright violation distributing faac binaries together with GPL software

[Sergey Kurdakov]

Hi Ton,


I checked ffmpeg code (0.6.1 - it should be there for some time though since
version 0.5 I think)- if it is possible to link against ffmpeg 6.1 why not
to use it?) and it contains native ( for ffmpeg)  aac encoder  it is there
as a replacement for libfaac. It is of lower quality thought.

as an alternative VP8/WebM+ Vorbis is preferred now - it is of comparable
quality ( video ) and good sound quality. But then again - ffmpeg contains
acc encoder even without libfaac, just not of high quality

Regards
Sergey
