Comment by refulgentis | original | FFmpeg 9.1's new AAC encoder

Older I get, more it seems it’s possible to ping pong between rewrites for good reasons (ex. here, metric maxes but I find it hard to believe VBR and not-48 kHz are silly things and not worth investing it)

I always encode my AAC with VBR. Why wouldn't you, right? I guess I'll stick to apple or fdkaac for now.

Why do you record AAC?

It’s better than mp3, and my car supports it from a usb stick.
