Description Derek Dolney 2015-10-27 03:38:47 UTC

HandBrakeCLI --help lists the available audio encoders. If I unpack the source, ./configure --enable-fdk-aac, and make, I get fdk_aac as one of the audio encoders. Of course, it is downloading the contrib/ stuff and building its own fdk-aac. 

The HandBrakeCLI built using the gentoo ebuild does not have fdk_aac (and the gui ghb does not have as an option). I have USE fdk, and I see -lfdk-aac in the link lines. But stripping out the contrib stuff is breaking fdk for some reason.

Thanks for reporting, apologies for the slow response.

I will have a look into it.

Can you post a build log? and an example encode log?

Comment 2 BT 2016-06-08 05:31:01 UTC

It appears that HandBrake requires FFmpeg/Libav be built with the fdk USE flag enabled.

Comment 3 Derek Dolney 2016-06-08 14:44:43 UTC

BT is right. rebuilding ffmpeg with fdk USE flag enabled gives me the fdk_aac encode option.

Should a virtual/ffmpeg[fdk] USE dependency be added to handbrake?
