I just updated the audiocoding.com CVS to include the SBR decoder source code. It's still licensed under the GPL.

Compiled plugins, etc. will follow as soon as someone makes them available

Menno

Very nice thing (for us), and smart thing (for Ahead)

great news!
thanks a lot!!!

mp3pro just died

Case already did that for foobar, the plugin with AAC HE support is here:

http://www.saunalahti.fi/cse/foobar2000/fo...foo_mp4_0.7.zip

There's nothing like instant service! Thanks all!

Awesome! Now all we have to wait for is hardware support. What are the legal details regarding hardware support now that we have software decoder support? Does this allow for integration in hardware, or would that be a separate release?

I guess SBR can be used on hardware players but this code, not yet...

Menno

Yes. We waited for one to kill mp3pro.
Good.
Is there already a winamp plugin??

Blah. Rarewares is unusable and behaving badly, therefore I'll post the binaries directly here.

http://pessoal.onda.com.br/rjamorim/in_mp4.exe
http://pessoal.onda.com.br/rjamorim/faad.zip

YESssssssss finally mp3pro dead
I luv it.

I can't get the new in_mp4 plugin working. It doesn't even show up in the plugin list, and I have installed in multiple times jsut to be sure. I tried playing back one of my new HE AAC test encodes, and of course, Winamp just acts confused and does nothing. I am running Winamp version 2.91.

Do you have libmmd.dll in your windows/system folder?

http://ogg.benjamin-lebsanft.de/files/libmmd7.zip


I'll create another compile of the binaries withoug libmmd dependency after RareWares gets usable again.

Thanks! That worked without a hitch.

will that plugin work with winamp3, or will there be a winamp3 version sometime!?? i have a friend who stands by it, and i believe he's using w3 now ... thanks

Ciao..

is this the faad with sbr ?

thnx rjamorim,

but the plugin is not working properly here. i'm using winamp 2.78, and my songs play about 12 times the speed they should.
mot really playing too fast, but skipping all the time most of the music.

The Winamp3 plugin hasn't been updated yet to support the SBR code.



Yes.

Is there sound coming out of it, or just the seekbar running from left to right?

the seekbar is fine, but the music plays, skipping most of it. once the "music" is finished, the seekbar is still going, but only silence remains...

i'l try some different songs again.

EDIT: yes, the same problem with all my encoded HE AAC titles. well, there are only 5. but they all play well with nero media player.

Does it happens on both normal AAC LC files and HE AAC files, or only on HE AAC ones?

no problems with the LC ones... did a encoding with the same options except LC instead HE, and these files all play like they are supposed to.

strange.. is it only me having this?

just tried the Winamp plugin, it works nice with both LC and HE AAC files... you've done a great job guys! greetings from Italy

@rjamorim

hehe... working now. (w00t) i updated my winamp to version 2.91c, that's all.

thnx for your work, and sorry for bothering you.

man this is some amazing stuff........thxs to all the developers!

I don't want to sound like your 94 year old aunt but could someone compile for the good ol' stable 0.667? It'd be really nice...

Alredy here http://www.saunalahti.fi/cse/foobar2000/foo_mp4.zip

Haha. That's cool.

Strange that it doesn't work properly with Winamp 2.80... something must still be wrong.

well, obviously it's working for all the others, so i wouldn't spend too much time to search for something...

it also might have been a wrong installation of my old version, although it played everything else well.

amazing quality at even ~43kbps! Only one question...I just did a vbr encode and only the average bitrate displays..perhaps some of my multiple aac/mp4 Winamp plugins are interfering w/ one another.

it even sounds nicely listenable at 16 kbps (mono) B)

what whould be the best setting for this? bitrate as low as possible (16 kbps that is if i am correct). for now there will be no need for streaming, so vbr seems possible (correct?). bet there are some more options below which can be ticked. one of those says something about low bitrates (cant remember the name right now). what does this do?

thanks in advance

edit: oops, realised this might not be the best thread for this. was a bit confused... just too many nero 6 / aac thread around lately

what is the audiocoding cvs address ?

why the code i download using cvs is still old without sbr?

(I following the instruction on the page :

http://faac.sourceforge.net/anoncvs.php)

Anonymous access to the CVS is ok?

hmm. who should use in_mp4 and who should use faad? what is the difference?

and please compile the plugin without the dependency. it's rather annoying to have to put some strange dlls to your system folders.

Tnx, amano

FAAD2: AAC/MP4 audio decoder for Win32. Command Line Interface. ICL7 compile. decodes HE AAC

IN_MP4: MP4 Input Plugin for Winamp2

so.. faad2 if you want a command line interface to (re)create wav files. and the winamp plugin for playing the mp4 files with winamp

Don't worry, you're not the only one! I have the same problem. I think that we are being directed to the backup server which is not up-to-date. It will correct itself in time.

Yes, this is the cause.

Quote from last sourceforge newsletter:



and



So... just wait

Hi everyone,
Can anyone tell me where to find AACPlus (HE AAC) streams??.

Thanks,
Preethi

i don't think, there are any (yet). he aac encoder just came out and player support is still hot.

regards; ilikedirt

For MacOS X users: You can download precompiled Faad2 2.0 at RareWares.

is there already a winamp in_mp4 compile witohut the lib*.dll dependency-

yup, search for the one from john33 (the thread is called "faad plugins" or so...)

tnx, bond

the specific thread is http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....opic=6428&st=50
for all those who might want to know.

without the whole .dll stuff it's much more usable now.
too bad it's not indicated in the options (or anywhere) that it NOW supports SBR.

I'm glad to see Winamp finally getting a good decoder :-)
I'm glad to see actual support for the new standard tags, but what identifiers are used for the total number of tracks (the properties portion of the Winamp decoder says track x of y...what identifier to I use for "y"). I'm using foobar2000 v.7 b28 for tagging, as it seems to properly support the new tagging standard. I figured out to use "YEAR" instead of "DATE."
Another interesting development, when I play the AAC/MP4 files in Winamp, even though it can now properly interpret the tag info, it still calls the files by their filenames in the playlist instead of Winamp's traditional Artist - Title format (which I like better). Is there any fix for this?

Thanks again, and excellent work with the plugin!

Could somebody please provide a link to (or upload) a short sample encoded with AAC HE?

forgot to link this:
http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....t=0#entry120278

new faad2 2.0 rc1 compiles for debian... breaks the xmms plugin atm, but that should be fixed soon.

suggestions for improvement @menno

(regarding winamp file information)


is there any way to check out if the files are cbr or vbr???

is there any way to check out if a file uses SBR at low bitrates?

is there a way to check out if the plugin uses SBR decoding, eg a switch to turn SBR decoding on or off??


these would be additions that would make the use of mp4s much more comfortable.

last question: did you include support for winamp's new library (I don't have any aac/mp4 files, so I can't check it out myself).

TNX, amano

will the plugins mentioned here work with Nero

i just saw that the in_mp4 winamp plugin doesnt work with multichannel files (although downmixing is already implemented in libfaad)!

is it possible to fix that somehow?

thanks

Multichannel decoding works fine here.

Or do you mean that you want an option to downmix to stereo?

Menno
