Winff 1.5.5 doesn't encode to MP4

[Alessandro Ebersol]

Dear friends,

I successfully compiled and packaged Winff 1.5.5

But, there's a problem with the presets (I guess).

I can't convert to MP4.

It gives the following error message:  Unknown encoder  libvo_aacenc

And stops there.

So, I'm asking if there's a workaround this problem, or, any tips on this issue.

My ffmpeg is version 3.4.2

Ok ?

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,

Hi Alessandro,

I can't remember the details without digging into log messages, but in
Debian, I use the aac coded instead of libvo_aacenc. I believe the later
one was better than an older aac codec, but nowadays aac is ok (and/or
the problem was with freeness). Anyways, drop libvo_aacenc in favor of
aac and you should be fine.

Well, this libvo_aacenc is in the presets. Could you point me a working preset for MP4 ? So I could incorporate it in the source and compile Winff again ?
Thanks for your tips,
Much appreciated,

You don't need to compile WinFF to change the presets.

Just load the presets file in $HOME/.winff/presets.xml in a text editor
and find-replace libvo_aacenc with aac.
