<title>AAC codec</title>

AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is an audio codec sometimes found in MOV and MP4
files. An open source decoder called FAAD is available from
<ulink url="http://www.audiocoding.com"/>. You can download the second
generation codec FAAD2 at their <ulink url="http://www.audiocoding.com/download.php">
download page</ulink>. Unfortunately FAAD2 1.1 does not compile under Linux, so you
will have to use the CVS version. Here's how:
<screen>
cvs -d:pserver:[e-mail]:/cvsroot/faac login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[e-mail]:/cvsroot/faac co faad2
cd faad2/
chmod +x bootstrap
./bootstrap
make
make install
</screen>
Binaries are not available from audiocoding.com, but you can (apt-)get Debian
packages from <ulink url="http://marillat.free.fr">Christian Marillat's homepage</ulink>
and Mandrake RPMs from the <ulink url="http://plf.zarb.org">P.L.F</ulink>.
