Title: AAC Encoding
Post by: jgourd on November 12, 2003, 07:53:14 pm

I got Quicktime 6.4 and I can play AAC files in MC9.1, yeah! I can make them with Nero 6 too. I want to make them with MC9.

I am wondering if anyone has ever configured an external command line AAC encoder to work with MC9?

I have used quicktime as an external encoder for MC9.1 to make AAC files. I posted about it in
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=16380;start=msg111523#msg111523 (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=16380;start=msg111523#msg111523)

Biggest issue I ran into is that quicktime as well as the libraries that MC9.1 are using need for the file name of the aac file to be short. I think I have had problems with > 32 charachters.

This is a variation of what people are doing with foobar2000. My version of the script (need to follow the instructions at http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?showtopic=12814& (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?showtopic=12814&))

If you've already got Nero 6, check out nencode from rarewares.hydrogenaudio.org (http://rarewares.hydrogenaudio.org), this gives you a command-line encoder that uses Nero's AAC DLLs.
