A standalone build of the Fraunhofer FDK AAC encoder/decoder code extracted from Android, packaged as a C++ library. It provides high-quality AAC audio encoding and decoding for use in media applications such as FFmpeg and HandBrake.
Use cases
- encode audio to AAC in a media transcoding tool
- decode AAC audio streams in a C++ application
- add AAC encoding support to FFmpeg builds
- extract the FDK AAC codec from Android for standalone use
- build a cross-platform audio codec library
When to choose
- you need high-quality AAC encoding/decoding in a native application
- you are building FFmpeg or HandBrake with better AAC support
- you want the Fraunhofer FDK codec outside of Android
When to avoid
- you need a permissively licensed codec without patent/royalty concerns
- you only need simple AAC handling already provided by your media framework
- you need a pure high-level audio API rather than a codec library
