# faac/cfg - "Build" settings for package

#---------------------------------------------------------------------

[technotes]

1. The source tarball used by this package has been renamed.

#---------------------------------------------------------------------

2. "faac"  is an  open-source MPEG-4 AAC encoder.  As of 2006, some of
the commercial alternatives were superior. However, if the "q" (quali-
ty) parameter was set to 150,  even 2006 releases of "faac" were prob-
ably good enough for casual use.

#---------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Advice from an "faac" user:

> If you want to play in  iTunes(R)  use  the  --no-midside  switch in
> faac or it won't sound great and will randomly crash iTunes(R).

#---------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Sample commands.

This sample command creates an AAC file named "test.aac" starting from
a WAV file named "test.wav":

      faac -o test.aac -q 150 -c 22000 test.wav

The following command is identical  except for  the  addition  of  the
switch "--no-midside", which apparently produces larger but more port-
able files:

      faac -o test.aac -q 150 -c 22000 --no-midside test.wav

#---------------------------------------------------------------------

5. According to  documentation  provided with the  "faac" source code,
"faac" components fall under two licenses:

      (a) ISO MPEG-4 reference-code license (1997)
      (b) GNU Library General Public License, version 2 (1991)

For  more  information,  see the file  "license.txt" in  the installed
tree.
