Nero MP4 AAC encoder preview

12 December 2002 5:51 by Lasse "cd-rw.org" Penttinen | 9 comments

I think we are the first to show you something about the much anticipated upcoming MP4 audio encoder.

It will be very interesting to see if this encoder has an effect on the audio scene. MP4 AAC is the commercial audio alternative for the future. Basically it has similar uses than the open-source OGG Vorbis. MP4 AAC will get a flying start with the user base of Nero, which is one of the most popular, if not the most popular, CD-R applications out there.

Thanks to our friends at the Ahead Software, we are able to show you a little sneek-a-peek about the upcoming MP4 audio encoder. It should be included in the next Nero release. No in depth reviewing or analysis here - just some pictures and introduction to some of the functions.

Which? The name, or the actual .mp4 music files? :-) Do we really need yet another audio codec? Aren't the couple of dozen or-so that we have now enough? There's a finite limit to how many audio playback codecs standalone hardware manufacturers are going to incorporate into their new equipment. -- A_Tin_Eared_Klingon -- [ + quote]

I think this new format should be welcomed with open arms as a means of upgrading technology and advancing the formats by which we listen to music on. How else are we going to get that new higher plane of quality and standard unless we continue to improve and seek out new codec forms. DJ [ + quote]

Well (maybe), but when you really think about it, all it takes is a .25c blank cd to make a perfect music cd clone in under 10 minutes, using no compression whatsoever, and you don't need to sit hunched over your computer keyboard in order to listen to it unless you want to. (That's what turned me off with .ogg vorbis files). -- Klingeeeeeeeee -- [ + quote]

And you have the advance of the technology forwarded by new and adventurous codecs to thank for that. DJ [ + quote]

I do? Music cd clones don't require a codec. It's a straight one-to-one copy I was referring to. However, "Music. The Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the website a/D. It's 5-year mission: To explore strange new software. To seek out new codecs, new formats. To boldly code what no one has coded before!" "Da-Da-Da, da da-da-da-DA!"

There are far more important uses for small-bandwidth audio than storing it for your own CD collection. The most notable is probably the mobile streaming, which is actually one place where aacPlus (and AAC itself) is going to be used in near future a lot.
