AAC quality mode

Post by LeRalouf »

Hello!
First of all, I'm not sure this has been suggested yet. I tried to search "AAC quality mode" in this forum, couldn't find anything. So, I thought I'd give it a try.

Please describe what you would like to see added to HandBrake:
Like we can use CRF to have a video bitrate depending on the content of the video, I wish there was a quality mode for AAC encoding. Something like in Nero (I'm guessing that's not an option, but something like that), when you set -q 0.5 for example, and audio bitrate is defined by the encoder depending on the audio itself.

Why would you like to see this added:
I just think it would be great to be able to do encodes where both video and audio bitrates depends on the encode itself and are not randomly chosen :)

What version of HandBrake are you currently running:
0.10.5

What operating system and version and you currently running (e.g. OSX 10.11, Windows 7, Ubuntu 14):
Ubuntu 14.04

Again, sorry if this was already asked, and thanks a lot for the soft!

Hello again!
Even though I'm not sure it's useful, here's the log of my last encode using AAC : http://pastebin.com/Zz8a14iV

Hi, quality mode ist available in nightly builds since several months. But the lowest setting uses still around 180 kbit/s

Oh nice!
I never tried nightly builds and didn't know that. Thanks a lot!
