thus far: - I tried ac3 and it seems ok to me - VLC can playback with no problems - I haven' t yet managed to encode to AAC - I get an error that libfaac is missing when using ffmpeg and audacity refuses to find the proper library - still looking for some other encoder - I easily encoded to flac with sox but the size is huge and thus totally inadequate for my purposes - ogg vorbis encode fine with sox but VLC crashes..
so 2 questions: 1. what are the right settings for a HQ quad ac3 ?? I used 44.100 and 192k which sounds ok - but then I don' t have very good speakers to be sure - let aside the file is pretty small which means I can afford higher nitrates 2. What' s the verdict of an aac vs ac3 comparison ???
