Sick of all these AAC jargons 2006-11-04 09:20:03 Yea, probably this clears up the confusion.AAC / LC-AAC = AACAACplus / AAC+ / AACPlus v1 / HE-AAC = AAC + SBRAACPlus / eAAC+ / AACPlus v2 / HE-AAC v2 = AAC + SBR + PSAAC = Advanced Audio CodingSBR = Spectral Band ReplicationPS = Parametric StereoHE = High Effiency
Sick of all these AAC jargons Reply #1 – 2006-11-04 18:08:58 aacPlus is a marketing term, while HE-AAC (or LC-AAC + SBR) is the correct term.LC-AAC is AAC, but not all AAC is LC, or even HE. There's SSR, LD, Main profile AAC (which can have PNS), and even AAC SLS and ALS.SSR = Scalable Sample rateLD = Low DelayPNS = Perceptual Noise SubstitutionSLS = Scalable to LosslessALS = Audio Lossless Coding Last Edit: 2006-11-04 18:17:51 by Firon
Sick of all these AAC jargons Reply #3 – 2006-11-07 06:34:09 I don't think it's "AAC SLS" and "AAC ALS", just ALS and SLS. Notably ALS has nothing whatsoever in common with AAC. You are just confusing yourself there Oh, but there is also AAC LTP. And maybe BSAC. Last Edit: 2006-11-07 06:36:21 by Garf
Sick of all these AAC jargons Reply #6 – 2006-11-07 09:22:46 I'm starting to believe there are even more AAC terms than network terms

Sick of all these AAC jargons Reply #9 – 2006-11-07 11:22:54 And don't forget the MANY different companies and organizations developing and tuning their "own version" of AAC codec.1) Nero Digital Audio has their own version of AAC.2) Apple has the iTunes version of AAC.3) Coding Technologies has their own version of AAC (currently used in Winamp).4) Dolby Labs has their own version of AAC.5) Open Source Project has their own version of AAC called FAAC / FAAD2.6) I think even RealNetworks has their own version of AAC encoder in RealPlayer.I'm sure I forgot many others. Just crazy isn't it? I'm still waiting for LAME AAC (just kidding).

It's quite true that Gabriel showed interest in AAC developing somewhere in this forum. I'd like that happen too.

AAC was designed exactly so that anyone could implement it. The same is true for MP3, Vorbis, ...

Sick of all these AAC jargons Reply #14 – 2006-11-14 04:17:37 But do they tune it themselves or let Dolby do all the work?
