The Fraunhofer Institut Integrierte Schaltungen, a.k.a. FhG, became famous for developing the MPEG-1 Layer III audio compression format widely known as the MP3. Now they are offering a free trial version of their MPEG-4 compression solution. The package includes an encoder, streaming server and a player.

'integrierte schaltungen'?! never heard the Frauenhofer Gesellschaft being called that way...

Again?
Last time I tried their MPEG4 trial, the player sucked badly. There's a "review" by me somewhere here. I hope they improved it.

I wonder if there are any improvements in the AAC encoder

Limited to HE-AAC 16-96 kbps, this trial seems to be more to show off their video encoder which seems to be unlimited.

Has anyone actually been able to encode a wav with this thing?
All I get is memory related application faults when I press the
"start" button... And my memory just passed memtest plus the
other day, so I don't thinks my RAM is to blame.

i wouldn't waste your time on it
the video encoder is slow (1 fps in its fastest mode) and the file it created couldn't even be played back by its own player (VLC crashed too). From others I've heard that the video quality is rather gruesome too.
I do not understand why Fraunhofer, what i thought of as a respectable institute, would bring out such a horrible product.

I wanted to check out the audio...
Why do these crashes always happen to me?
I couldn't get Windows Media Encoder 9 to work either.
It's not like I'm missing anything, but I like it when things
"just work".

Doesn't work here either.
