Description Philippe Didier 2012-11-02 20:21:49 CET

Description of problem:

ffmpeg can now (since july 2012) use libfdk-aac that will replace libvo_aacenc

It always need to be built in tainted for this (patent problem)

When libfdk-aac is provided in Mageia its spec file will need to be modified :

only one line to change in the spec file
line 304 --enable-libfdk-aac instead of --enable-libvo_aacenc

Comment 1 Christiaan Welvaart 2014-11-26 08:20:38 CET

The libfdk-aac license is a bit strange (vague), ffmpeg classifies it as incompatible with GPL(v3).

Assigning to ffmpeg maintainer Shlomi Fish, but that license issue needs to be sorted out first. If it's not good, we could just close the request as wontfix.

Comment 3 Shlomi Fish 2016-10-16 10:22:17 CEST

Closing as WONTFIX due to the licence problem - see https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/AAC . Sorry!

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => WONTFIX

Comment 4 Philippe Didier 2019-03-02 15:26:23 CET

The licence problem seems to have been solved since fdk-aac is now in RpmFusion non-free for Fedora and in non-free for Debian and for Opensuse too

Resolution: WONTFIX => (none)
Status: RESOLVED => REOPENED

Comment 5 David GEIGER 2019-03-03 19:03:36 CET

Fixed! ffmpeg compiled against fdk-aac
