AAC codec

Usage of libfdk_aac codec

Currently, EZrenderer uses ffmpeg with the libfdk_aac codec to encode the videos. It seems that the libfdk_aac codec offers better results for video encoding than the default compiled AAC codec (see AAC encoding for FFMPEG for more information). In that context, we, at ULB, have decided to only support libfdk_aac codec for video encoding.

Compilation of FFMPEG with libfdk_aac codec

For further information on how to compile FFMPEG with libfdk_aac codec included, refer to FFMPEG compilation guide for your Linux distribution / Mac OS.

Coming soon

We are currently working on a solution to let you choose whether you want to use default AAC codec or libfdk_aac codec on each renderer you add.
