#490 FDK-AAC

[Estêvão Monteiro]

Recently Fraunhofer released its own AAC-LC/HE-AAC/HE-ACC v2 encoder and decoder for Android 4.1, and this has been extracted as a separate open source project and included in ffmpeg/libav as an external library. Since FAAC is crappy and not really GPL (contains third party copyrighted source code) and Fraunhofer's encoder has ranked higher than Nero's in recent tests, I feel compelled to strongly suggest the inclusion of FDK-AAC in MeGUI.

Please add this high-quality open-source AAC encoder. Something good is needed in MeGUI since it's been a while now since the development of Nero AAC stopped.

Hi. you are a genius. Thanks for MeGUI. Please add the latest audio codec, Unified Speech and Audio Coding (USAC) or (xHE-AAC). xHE-AAC is THE BEST OF THE BEST.
and soon x266 and av1 video codecs. Thank you so much for everything
