FdkAac encoder, used during the development of this product, is available for download from the following link.
Below you can find the full list of command line's options for FdkAac version 0.6.2:
Usage: fdkaac [options] input_file
Options:
-h, --help Print this help message
-p, --profile <n> Profile (audio object type)
2: MPEG-4 AAC LC (default)
5: MPEG-4 HE-AAC (SBR)
29: MPEG-4 HE-AAC v2 (SBR+PS)
23: MPEG-4 AAC LD
39: MPEG-4 AAC ELD
129: MPEG-2 AAC LC
132: MPEG-2 HE-AAC (SBR)
156: MPEG-2 HE-AAC v2 (SBR+PS)
-b, --bitrate <n> Bitrate in bits per seconds (for CBR)
-m, --bitrate-mode <n> Bitrate configuration
0: CBR (default)
1-5: VBR
(VBR mode is not officially supported, and
works only on a certain combination of
parameter settings, sample rate, and
channel configuration)
-w, --bandwidth <n> Frequency bandwidth in Hz (AAC LC only)
-a, --afterburner <n> Afterburner
0: Off
1: On(default)
-L, --lowdelay-sbr <-1|0|1> Configure SBR activity on AAC ELD
-1: Use ELD SBR auto configurator
0: Disable SBR on ELD (default)
1: Enable SBR on ELD
-s, --sbr-ratio <0|1|2> Controls activation of downsampled SBR
0: Use lib default (default)
1: downsampled SBR (default for ELD+SBR)
2: dual-rate SBR (default for HE-AAC)
-f, --transport-format <n> Transport format
0: RAW (default, muxed into M4A)
1: ADIF
2: ADTS
6: LATM MCP=1
7: LATM MCP=0
10: LOAS/LATM (LATM within LOAS)
-C, --adts-crc-check Add CRC protection on ADTS header
-h, --header-period <n> StreamMuxConfig/PCE repetition period in
transport layer
-o <filename> Output filename
-G, --gapless-mode <n> Encoder delay signaling for gapless playback
0: iTunSMPB (default)
1: ISO standard (edts + sgpd)
2: Both
--include-sbr-delay Count SBR decoder delay in encoder delay
This is not iTunes compatible, but is default
behavior of FDK library.
-I, --ignorelength Ignore length of WAV header
-S, --silent Don't print progress messages
--moov-before-mdat Place moov box before mdat box on m4a output
Options for raw (headerless) input:
-R, --raw Treat input as raw (by default WAV is
assumed)
--raw-channels <n> Number of channels (default: 2)
--raw-rate <n> Sample rate (default: 44100)
--raw-format <spec> Sample format, default is "S16L".
Spec is as follows:
1st char: S(igned)|U(nsigned)|F(loat)
2nd part: bits per channel
Last char: L(ittle)|B(ig)
Last char can be omitted, in which case L is
assumed. Spec is case insensitive, therefore
"u16b" is same as "U16B".
Tagging options:
--title <string>
--artist <string>
--album <string>
--genre <string>
--date <string>
--composer <string>
--grouping <string>
--comment <string>
--album-artist <string>
--track <number[/total]>
--disk <number[/total]>
--tempo <n>
--tag <fcc>:<value> Set iTunes predefined tag with four char code.
--tag-from-file <fcc>:<filename>
Same as above, but value is read from file.
--long-tag <name>:<value> Set arbitrary tag as iTunes custom metadata.
--tag-from-json <filename[?dot_notation]>
Read tags from JSON. By default, tags are
assumed to be direct children of the root
object(dictionary).
Optionally, position of the dictionary
that contains tags can be specified with
dotted notation.
Example:
--tag-from-json /path/to/json?format.tags
