Description

AAC encoding in Handbrake uses the non-free FAAC. AAC encoding should either be removed entirely from Handbrake or be supported via free encoders such as FF-AAC.

"Feature is now implemented. The encoder is "usable" but still has some ways to go.
Improvements are now part of libav updates, so this ticket is now closed.

Version:» 6.0

This package does not exist in precise, only in quantal.
Do we want to have a backport in toutatis or wait till 6.5?

Actually I am going to mark this as fixed. The only version of handbrake in the repos is for dagda which has reached end of life. After that in 6.5 we should have the version from Ubuntu quantal which has been fixed upstream so this isn't a problem currently.

As a New Year gift, I backported the latest Handbrake 0.9.9 from Trusty to Toutatis. Enjoy!
