In the audio part, this means it is the delay between the considered stream and the video stream.
Isn't it enough meaningful?

this is definitely not an "audio delay", because this is compared to the video stream, maybe a better English proposal?

So I use theses values (maxBitrate and avgBitrate), they are same so this is considered as CBR.
Actually, I should maybe change my +/-1% to +/-5% maybe...

In your case, all AAC frames are 1024 sample long (1024/44100 timescale = ~23.22ms), but this is not always the case (AAC frames can be 120/128/960/1024 sample long), so if you look for a maximal bitrate, you must handle the case of different AAC frame duration.

is confusing...may be a simple "delay"?

If the delay is ALWAYS relative to the video stream, then I would agree that just "delay" is less confusing (with a note in the documentation to say that delays are relative to the video stream).

Alternatively something like "Delay relative to video", but that might be a bit to long.

Absolute "Delay" is hidden by default, only the delay relative to video is displayed.
but it should be available in "advanced mode" (check this item in "Debug" menu) in "Delay" field.

HE-AAC == LC-AAC with SBR (Spectral Bandwidth Replication)
HE-AACv2 == LC-AAC with SBR (Spectral Bandwidth Replication) and PS (Parameteric Stereo).

Given we have a HE-AACv2 stream, you can decode with a HE-AACv2 (SBR+PS) capable decoder and you'll get Stereo at 48 KHz. Decode with a decoder that supports HE-AAC (SBR), but not HE-AACv2 (PS) and you'll get Mono at 48 KHz. Decode with a LC-AAC decoder that neither supports SBR nor PS and you'll get Mono at 24 KHz.

I would not have said it better

More généraly, data after " / " are legacy stream information, requested by some users.
This seems to be a bit stupid for AAC because there is only one method per AAC profile (HE-AACv2 has always legacy HE-AAC and HE-AAC has always LC-AAC), but I try to be coherant with other format like AC-3/TrueHD and DTS/DTS-HD (settings for the legacy part may be very different), and this is a way to remind that HE-AAC v1/v2 is compatible with old decoders!

b66pak, can you provide your file, I would like to see where is the "cdec" atom in order to put it in the right MediaInfo field (Writing library settings I imagine, but weird "-cbr" with a not cbr encode...)
+ I will correct the channel position glitch in ADTS I just remarked.

b66pak · 25th December 2010, 21:01

Hi Zenitram,

today a ran into some problems regarding audio files. First I noticed that I get (possibly) incorrect ID3 tag information from some of my music files (MP3s). I was using pretty old version 0.7.30, so I decided to upgrade to the newest one.

Unfortunately 0.7.38 crashes if I try to read information about audio files (video and images work). Here is the error I get:

I tried previous version, 0.7.37, and it has the same problem. Both the dll and GUI versions crash. Version 0.7.35 doesn't crash but shows the wrong tags.

I would like to send you the file with wrong tags. I tried to create a header file, but result was a zero sized file. I don't want to upload the whole MP3, because it is illegal. I could send you the file personally if you have an ftp or by e-mail. Or do you have any other idea?

Thank you!

vlada · 29th December 2010, 11:33

Thanks a lot, this version doesn't crash anymore. However the problem with ID3 tags remains. I made a sample which should show the problem. I cut a few kB at the beginning and at the end of the MP3, which causes problem. The beginning contains ID3v2 tag, which is not read by MediaInfo at all. At the end is ID3V1 tag which is read incorrectly (shows "+" as song title). Other programs I tried (foobar2000, mp3tag, mp3infp) read the tags correctly.

Here is the sample.
