Ubuntu Multimedia :: Any Difference Between FAAC And LibFAAC?
Mar 22, 2011
Is there a difference between faac and libfaac? I have an iPod Shuffle.
One of these:-
It plays m4a tracks created using faac encoder.
Like this:-
Code:
ffmpeg -i foo.flac -f wav - | faac -o test1.m4a -b 152 -
But it won't play tracks created using libfaac.
Like this:-
Code:
ffmpeg -i foo.flac -acodec libfaac -ab 152k test2.m4a
I've compared the MediaInfo for the two files.
They look very similar, faac does a more thorough job of tagging. Does ffmpeg do something to the file when it's converting or muxing with libfaac to make it unplayable by the Shuffle?
I've uploaded the two files.
test1.m4a is created using faac
test2.m4a is created using libfaac
They are here:- [URL]. What's the difference?
Using Ubuntu Karmic 9.10
and
FAAC 1.26.1
and
FFmpeg version git-N-28456-g1c31b26

I am trying to convert some mp3's into m4r format.I got to step 4 on this page:
Code:
ffmpeg.exe -i ringtone.mp3 -ac 1 -ab 128000 -f mp4 -acodec libfaac -y ringtone.m4r
minus the .exe part. here's what i use:
Code:
ffmpeg -i test.mp3 -ac 1 -ab 128000 -f mp4 -acodec libfaac -y test.m4r
but ffmpeg throws me this error:
Code:
Unknown encoder 'libfaac'
even though i have libfaac0 and libfaac-dev installed

I tried to convert an AVI-video to a MP4-video for my ipod. Therefore I used ffmpeg as I can read in the FAQ
Code:
ffmpeg -i in.avi -acodec libfaac -ab 128kb -vcodec mpeg4 -b 1200kb -mbd 2 -flags +mv4 -trellis 2 -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -s 320x180 -metadata title=X out.mp4
The problem is, that the given encoder libfaac is not installed and I can't get it through the pack-adminstration
[Code]....

Is there an easy way to enable libfaac in ffmpeg? I'm hoping to not have to compile it myself, but it appears that it was compiled without libfaac support. Not sure if what I'm using is from rpmfusion, but it's enabled.

I've been running Sony Vegas in VirtualBox. My machine is dual core 2ghz and has 2 GB RAM so the VB gets 90MB video and 950MB system. XP is 32 bits. I also have the identical set up installed natively. The native version gets the full 2 GB system and 512 video. A non scientific test tells me the VirtualBox system is faster. My camera is a new T2i which produces .MOV files. The only program that can read them without stutter is VLC in Ubuntu. Quicktime in both Windows version stutters all over the place. VLC in Windows is so bad I deleted it.
To the point: I'm going to build a new system for video editing using at least 8 GB RAM and Windows 7 (Sorry, I don't have the patience to wait for Lumeira or Lightworks). I like the fact that I can be in both environments without booting. But, I'd like some real world advise about this. In a pure 64 bit environment, will I be better off in a dual-boot situation or virtual? I'm reluctant to load up W7 on my current system because of the hassle associated with getting a new registration for the new system.

I've typed 'l' instead of 'ls' in the terminal by mistake a couple of times, and it seems to do pretty much - but not exactly - the same as 'ls' ('l' appends *, @ etc at the end of filenames which seem to indicate permissions and/or links).
I can't find any documentation on 'l'. 'l --help' gives exactly the same output as 'ls --help'. 'which l' gives nothing. There are no files in my filesystem called only 'l' either - just a couple of unrelated folders.
So what's the difference between l and ls?

I have two interfaces, Gnome and KDE. So sometimes I am asked to chose between the 2 display manager gdm (Gnome) or kdm (KDE). I've never noticed any difference. When I have problems with one I have problems with the other, and usually they both seem to function equally well. If you have ever been in a situation where one was better than the other could you please tell me about it? My question is related to troubleshooting a dual-monitor setting but this is another thread, here I'm just asking because I wish to learn a bit more about displays in general.

What is the difference between 0750 and 750? Not the specific numbers but the format of them. I know the difference between 750, 755, 777, 600, etc, but is there a functional difference between using a preceding zero and not using one?

How on Earth can you tell the difference between a packaging bug and a bug in the software? I ask because Kubuntu.org says - on it's page for upgrading to KDE 4.5:
Quote:
Bugs in packaging should be reported to kubuntu-ppa on Launchpad. Bugs in the software to KDE.
Now I don't know where to file *any* bug!

What's the difference between apt-get and aptitude? Could I use either to effectively update my system? (ie. do "apt-get update" and "aptitude update" do the same thing?)

i recently upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10.
After I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 I can choose between the following OS's when turning on my computer (see picture):
What is the difference between linux 2.6.35-22 and 2.6.32-25? The 2.6.35-22 option froze once on login, I have never experienced any trouble with the 2.6.32-25 option.
So what is the difference between the two? Do i need both? If not, which one should I remove and how?

I am currently using the 32 bit version of Ubuntu on my 64 bit laptop. My question is, does using a 32 bit version on said hardware reduce its performance (i.e will battery life be reduced, system be under more load, etc.)?

what is the difference between Red Hat and Ubuntu and where can I find information about using Linux as an OS?
I'd also like to learn about the pros and cons of using Linux and again if someone can give me directions to a useful source of information, I'll be happy with that. (might even get back into writing code!)
I'd like to find out how to ensure I load the correct drivers for my laptop and where I can find these.
I suppose I could buy a Linux for Dummies book but I suspect that is aimed at writing code which is not what I want to do (at least, initially).

what the difference between the commands tracert and traceroute is? I need to run tracert as superuser, while traceroute is no problem in user mode.
Also, it appers like tracert is showing nodes completely different from traceroute:
Code:
sudo tracert google.nl
traceroute to google.nl (216.239.59.104), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
1 192.168.1.254 (192.168.1.254) 1.078 ms 1.699 ms *
2 * * *
[Code]....
Another thing.. Is it correct to assume that hop 5 and 7 above are loadbalanced nodes? How should I interpret this result, is the traceroute initiating it's path three times? Otherwise it'd be rather strange as to display other addresses in the same node..

I'm using NBE on 10.04RC, I've just seen Easy Peasy 1.6 on Distro Watch so ran the live CD out of curiosity. Apart from Gimp I cannot see any difference between Ubuntu 10.04 NBE and Easy Peasy, have I missed something? Menu etc looks the same.. don't look at menu on their website as that's the one based on 9.04 [URL]
This is part of the release note:"Features: new boot system and new boot artwork (uses Plymouth); sports full removal of the HAL package, making EasyPeasy faster to boot and faster to resume from suspend; brand-new interface; built-in integration with Twitter, identi.ca, Facebook and other social networks with the MeMenu in the panel; the likewise-open package, which provides Active Directory authentication and server support for Linux, has been updated to version 5.4; new default open-source driver for NVIDIA hardware; improved support for NVIDIA proprietary graphics drivers".
