Knowledge Base/Wiki page about FAAC
by hans-jürgen - Sep 24th 2004 02:33:40
A user documentation about FAAC with recommended settings, resulting
bitrates of the VBR quality mode, compatibility and so on is available in
the Wiki of Audiocoding.com:
http://www.audiocoding.com/modules/wiki/?page=FAAC
If you don't know some of the abbreviations used there, you should click
on the related Wiki links for more, e.g. to AAC, MP4, HE AAC, LTP, TNS etc.
There's also a page for FAAD2 and of course a forum where you can ask about
anything related to these codecs.

Licenses
by hans-jürgen - Sep 24th 2004 02:09:40
The codecs are released under different licenses: while FAAC and FAAD (the
outdated first release of the decoder) use the LGPL, FAAD2 is GPL. For more
information see the homepage and/or the Readme files in the source code
package or CVS, also about patent issues related to the AAC format.

MPEG-4 standard as well as related FAQs of the AAC license pool

The supported file formats mentioned in the project description include the

*.mp4 (MPEG-4 container format for multimedia files with video, audio and
other tracks)
*.m4a (MPEG-4 AAC in a MP4 container)
*.m4b (same as *.m4a, for bookmarkable audio files with speech content)

Dependencies
by hans-jürgen - Sep 21st 2004 01:23:54
Please read the "Dependencies" section as a reference to other
Freshmeat projects that have implemented either FAAC, FAAD2 or both codecs
in their application or for which at least a plugin exists.
As it's not possible to edit each of these project pages in order to add
the codecs under their "Dependencies" section, I chose to add
them here, so there's a direct link to click on, although it's not 100%
correct and rather the other way round.

Re: Dependencies
by hans-jürgen - Sep 26th 2004 07:23:07
I also added some Freshmeat projects as optional dependencies that use
other or no AAC codecs at all (IBM Toolkit, Apple QuickTime and iTunes,
Real/Helix Player and Producer), because they are nevertheless related to
FAAC or FAAD2 and could use them in the context of the MPEG-4 standard.
That way you'll get an overview of their download links on one page.

verbose project description
by hans-jürgen - Sep 19th 2004 07:23:52
Since the full description of the FAAC project had to be shortened by the
site admins, I'll post it as a comment, also added some more apps that use
the codecs:
"The FAAC project includes the open source AAC encoder FAAC and
decoder FAAD2 supporting several MPEG-4 object types (LC, Main, LTP for
FAAC plus HE AAC and PS for FAAD2) and file formats (ADTS AAC, raw AAC,
MP4), VBR, multichannel and gapless en/decoding as well as MP4 metadata
tagging.
The codecs are compatible with standard-compliant audio applications using
one or more of these profiles, e.g QuickTime / iTunes / iPod, RealPlayer /
RealProducer, Winamp, Digital Radio Mondiale, web radio stations and
others.
They have been implemented in open source and commercial projects like
XMMS, MPlayer, Xine, VLC, ffmpeg, GStreamer, MPEG4IP, xmcd, grip, gmerlin,
mpd, foobar2000, Winamp (external plugins), CoolEdit / Adobe Audition,
dBpowerAMP, CDex, Nero (decoder), 3ivx (encoder) or the online record label
Magnatune."

Forgot to mention the open source projects GPAC (MPEG-4 Systems player and
file muxer) and DReaM (DRM receiver/transmitter)...
