I thought the 3 main encoders for AAC were FHG, FKD, and QAAC
The difference being, QAAC on its own doesn't do anything. It cannot encode audio without the needed dlls from iTunes, whether that's an installed copy of iTunes or ones extracted from the installer.

I can see why QAAC is listed under the encoder section on Video Help, but it's still not an encoder, per se.
