homebrew-ffmpeg-fdk-aac

Default ffmpeg formula with fdk-aac.

Install

brew install aerobounce/ffmpeg-fdk-aac/ffmpeg

Changes from the original Formula

This formula adds these arguments:

--enable-libfdk-aac
--enable-nonfree
--disable-htmlpages
-fno-stack-check

fno-stack-check is a bug workaround when building with newer toolchains on macOS: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/8073#comment:12

Why

homebrew-core ffmpeg Formula removed all the options and is missing libfdk-aac – "highest-quality AAC encoder available with ffmpeg".

The Fraunhofer FDK AAC codec library. This is currently the highest-quality AAC encoder available with ffmpeg. Requires ffmpeg to be configured with --enable-libfdk-aac (and additionally --enable-nonfree if you're also using --enable-gpl).
