Does anyone know how to encode to aac with Quicktime? only, convert, decided, iTunes

andy

I can't find the option...

js

QuicktimeProgt;gt;Exportgt;gt;Movie to MPEG4gt;gt;Options  Then, the second line from the top, click the downarrow to the right of quot;Videoquot; and select quot;Audioquot;...

You need Quicktime Pro....
You can also use iTunes to convert to AAC, it's the same as quicktime

Found it, thanks.

Is there a reason why I can't choose AAC-LC VBR (grayed out - only AAC-LC and None are highlighted)?  My input is a wav file, if that matters...

Edit:Well, I decided to try iTunes.  Found it!

Found it, thanks.

Found what?

Glad to hear that ;gt;}

Any chance you know why I can't use the vbr settings?

js

[Color]Only a guess on my part - It probably requires that your source file is VBR in order to output as VBR.

Curious to know why VBR audio would be important to you?[/Color]

Well, I'm used to using vbr with mp3 and ogg.  It's weird because iTunes can do vbr...  

Doesn't it increase quality overall?

js

Quicktime,

export
quot;movie to quicktime moviequot;

options

sound

look for AAC

there you'll get VBR LC-AAC in .mov

again load the mov

export to mpeg-4

use pass thorugh option....

yeah you get a VBR MPEG-4 AAC now

Didn't work, everything except none and aac-lc is grayed out.

Edit: Ok, it worked the second time.  I had to quit and reopen Quicktime though.  Thanks kotrtim.

Someone posted about this on apple's forums, but they never responded...
