GUI for fdkaac
I have compiled fdkaac and it is a bit annoying to use from command line.
Is there any GUI, possibly with batch support and transcoding from other formats? P.S: It would be very nice to put every exe and dll in its own directory, to have the possibility to use the wanted encoder.

MeGUI has support for it (must enable in settings)
EDIT Maybe check out also foobar2000

dmMediaConverter supports fdkaac in ffmpeg. Of course only if you use an ffmpeg version which was compiled with fdkaac enabled.
The usual Zeranoe builds do not support fdkaac for licensing reasons. But there are a couple of fdk enabled binaries available for download. The ones I like most are: https://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer/ (32-bit and 64-bit binaries) https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/forum/vie...p=15446#p15446 (32-bit only, XP compatible, SSE2 not required) The libfdk option becomes available after editing the file "dmMediaConverter.ini" and adding this line: AudioEnablelibFDK=1 |

FWIW, LameXP can use fdkaac as its AAC encoder.

I know that LameXP supports FhgAacEnc (which came with WinAmp), but I never found any instructions on how to use FDK-AAC within LameXP. FDK-AAC is newer than FhgAacEnc, it was meant to be used in Android. I don't know if the verdict is out which one of the two delivers better quality. But I do know that FhgAacEnc is much faster than FDK-AAC. Anyways, if I want to use LameXP as the GUI then I would probably use Qaac as my AAC encoder... |

I would guess that you just copy the exe into the root lamexp foder http://lamexp.sourceforge.net/doc/Ma...he-aac-encoder

Sorry, not supported at this time. Refalac is the reference encoder/decoder for Apple Lossless Audio Codec. This is also provided by the QAAC project, but not required for using QAAC itself.

Did you note that QAAC has a "--quality" option to control the quality/speed trade-off? It defaults to "2", i.e. the slowest (highest quality) mode.

I always use best quality (default), because the encoding time for audio is negligible anyway these days - especially when compared to the time that is needed for the video encoding
But, for speed/performance comparison with other encoders, it probably is not very "fair" to run QAAC in its slowest mode. Just saying. (These speed numbers don't say all that much anyway, unless we also take the resulting sound quality into account. In listening tests, Apple/QAAC was generally found to sound the best, followed by Winamp/FhgAaac)
