I want to know if the iTunes AAC encoder has changed since 7.0.2.16? If so, are the changes -- overall -- for the good or bad? I don't want to upgrade if the current version of the encoder has some bad tweaks in it.
Moderation: Fixed typo in topic. ACC -> AAC. To help future searches. This post has been edited by JensRex: Nov 6 2007, 19:47 |

I thought that a new version of iTunes and QuickTime would be released around the same time as Leopard. It might be built into Leopard (though I thought iTunes was part of iLife) but I am not sure. Last time they did something like this, it took Apple about a week to come out with Windows downloads. That was around the time Panther was released, it took them about a week or so to come out with Windows equivalents.

Guarantee there will be a new version of iTunes and QuickTime released in the next week...maybe even by Friday. QuickTime obviously due to the reported encoder updates. iTunes will probably get a minor update just with any last minute Leopard-specific fixes. Apple always keeps the Mac and Windows versions in sync (unless there is a specific Mac or Windows fix that only applies to 1 platform)...I doubt they will stop now. So expect those who have earlier OS X versions or Windows to get an update as well. I'll let you guys know when I get Leopard on Friday what version of QuickTime comes with it and see if I can find anything interesting... -------------------- iTunes 10 - Mac OS X 10.6

While I'll admit that it is very possible iTunes/Quicktime updates are part of the + in the 300+ updates, I haven't been able to find any information on the Apple website that these are pending for next week. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see updates/improvements to the Apple encoder and, in fact hope I'm wrong on this one... but I think that if these updates were coming, they'd have included them in the feature list... as telling people that iTunes was going to support HE-AAC is sort of a big deal. I suppose we'll have to wait and see. Can anyone even point me to an article from somewhere like slashdot, digg, AppleInsider, MacRumors, etc. that implies these updates are coming this week? |
