Enhanced AACPlus (AACPlus v2) Codec

Re: Playing the aacPlus files in Winamp 5

Hi to everyone, Winamp is not capable for playing AAC files whit the `Plus´ enhancements because the files created for this codec be inside the MP4 container

Use this decoder

Re: Enhanced AACPlus (AACPlus v2) Codec

And Windows Media Player plays bsiegel AACplus files with the 3ivx codecs installed.

Not on my system, I'm afraid. Any suggestions as to what to look for to solve this, please? The encoded files come out with an .mp4 extension. They play fine in Winamp (with the AudioCoding.com plugin) and in XMPlay (with the Mares plugin), but not in WMP or MPC. I have v.D4 4.5.1 of the 3ivxPro decoder installed, from the K-Lite codec pack. Many thanks.

The player you use has to support AACPlus I would say, otherwise it just plays as a low-bitrate AAC file or not at all.

Sure, but bsiegel says in his introductory notes that the encoded files should play in WMP, and ckjnigel confirms that they do on his system with the 3ivx codecs installed. Although I must say that until I read these statements I wouldn't have expected WMP to play AAC+ files.

Re: Enhanced AACPlus (AACPlus v2) Codec

i love free stuff :D but it seems to have 'pops' during playback

i use winamp to play it, i can use directshow players thanks to coreaac and the haali media splitter

i used to have 3ivx installed, but it liked to notify me when ever i opened something in a directshow player that the encoder trial was up.. way to annoying for me

Re: Enhanced AACPlus (AACPlus v2) Codec

An update: the encoded files will play in WMP after all, after installing a different set of codecs.

Re: Enhanced AACPlus (AACPlus v2) Codec

It is possible to encode in bitrate 96kb/s?

[gameplaya15143]

Re: Enhanced AACPlus (AACPlus v2) Codec

give it a try.. add


96 kbit/s stereo
96000 s

to options.txt, maybe it will work, i dont know

Re: Enhanced AACPlus (AACPlus v2) Codec

Hi,

The Enhanced AACPlus encoder will work only up to 64kbps, no higher. I'm unsure as to why, since I'm almost sure that higher bitrates were created, especially since it supports surround-sound.

Profressional version only, perhaps?

Chris

edit:: Winamp's free AACPlus encoder will encode to 128kbps. What's up with that?

Re: Enhanced AACPlus (AACPlus v2) Codec

Hi BSiegel,
is it possible to add stdin stdout support to your encoder?

thank you!

Re: Enhanced AACPlus (AACPlus v2) Codec

Doesn't AACPlus only go up to 128kbps? Higher than that, your probably better off using normal AAC

[gameplaya15143]

Re: Enhanced AACPlus (AACPlus v2) Codec

in my opinion, from 96kbps and up, use LC aac

[Brian49]

Re: Enhanced AACPlus (AACPlus v2) Codec

bsiegel - what's the future for your codec, please? Will you be finalising it and submitting it for inclusion in Codec Central? Many thanks.

Re: Enhanced AACPlus (AACPlus v2) Codec

If it has left beta, we can include a link from codec central.

Re: Enhanced AACPlus (AACPlus v2) Codec

Anything new here? I would love to see this included in Codec Central, as it works perfectly for me. Needs a pretty installer though :D
