Okay I'm looking to find the best AAC encoder...minus installing iTunes...fucking memory whore.

Both encodes are set to 128k...but one is FFMpeg and the other is Nero.

Let me know which you feel is better if at all.

Scratch that...tossing in LAME MP3...and tests also at 64k

I was actually surprised how well MP3 held up...at least for my ears...others may beg to differ.

Probably need better material to make a proper comparison...and ideally figure out where our bitrates should be.

Link to some testing done by one group...with a negative view of MP2...but hey we are talking AAC and MP3

Commandlines:

== 128K ==
///////////////////
neroAacEnc.exe -lc -br 131072 -2pass -if 1944.wav -of test.mp4
ffmpeg.exe -y -i 1944.wav -vn -sn -acodec libfaac -ab 128k test.mp4
ffmpeg.exe -y -i 1944.wav -vn -sn -acodec libmp3lame -ab 128k test.mp3


== 64K ==
///////////////////
neroAacEnc.exe -lc -br 65536 -2pass -if 1944.wav -of test.mp4
ffmpeg.exe -y -i 1944.wav -vn -sn -acodec libfaac -ab 64k test.mp4
ffmpeg.exe -y -i 1944.wav -vn -sn -acodec libmp3lame -ab 64k test.mp3
