AAC Quality

[Unregistered]

What's the best quality that the AAC encoder used by the converter can achieve? I'm trying to convert a large quantity of FLAC files to aac/mp4 to put on my ipod, but I'd like to use 192 kbps vbr for them. Is that possible with dBpowerAMP?

512Kbps is the Highest that the DBpowerAmp MP4 codec can go up to.

Using The Extreme Preset will produce the level of quality you are looking for IMHO. You should experiment with the other presets til you find which one that sounds the best to you.

Hmm, okay, thanks. Does it support VBR, though? I read that the encoder used by Nero does.

Currently Nero is just about the only popular codec that supports VBR.

VBR support will probally be added later. Also the codec that DBpowerAmp uses will most likely improve too.
