every video uses AAC but why is it not synonymous with music files?

AAC is a literal cuck codec.
Caleb Morris
Because most music is consumed through shitty earplugs or phone speakers. Never was any reason to use anything other than 96k mp3s.
Andrew Sanchez
>every video uses aac
not my collection
I suspect it's popular because it's the default apple codec and people associate apple with content production despite rendering on a macbook being fucking retarded
Nolan Moore
both android and VLC/MPC support AAC
so whats the issue?
Luis Cox
Back then:
Lobbying by Fraunhofer and other consortiums meant that AAC wasn't marketed as a music file format.
Now:
AAC is a non-free format encumbered by patents.
MP3 is now a free format and is almost guaranteed to be compatible with whatever use case it needs to be
OPUS is free and has far better quality than even HE-AAC v2.
No reason to use AAC.
Michael Miller
MP3 doesnt work well with current day video codecs and video containers, that's the main reason
Dylan Reyes
Addendum: IIRC Steve Jobs had to force them to give the AAC licensing for use in their iTunes music store. Thus then until now only iTunes/Apple Music distribute music with the AAC codec, and also why the Apple AAC encoder is considered to be the best.
Hunter Morales
>mp3 is free
thats wrong
u still have to add-on the feature into audacity
Ryan Ramirez
huh? why not?
Gabriel Davis
Modern video containers (i.e. MKV, every thing else is irrelevant) can support practically everything.
People don't use MP3 because they choose not to.

>On April 23, 2017, Technicolor's mp3 licensing program for certain mp3 related patents and software of Technicolor and Fraunhofer IIS has been terminated.
With implementations such as LAME, MP3 is now a wholly free as in freedom codec.

Most these days use Vorbis or Opus. Because YouTube.
Angel Carter
Nah, mang, mp3 is finally truly free.

youtube converts it to that, but when videos are hosted on other platforms (major media outlets who reup everywhere) you'll see mp4 and aac when u download it
Xavier Jackson
>backpedaling and name-calling at the same time
Just admit that you're wrong you dumb faggot.
Christopher Reyes
>but when videos are hosted on other platforms (major media outlets who reup everywhere)
None of which are anywhere near the scale of youtube. I said most not all.
Michael Garcia
>Most these days use Vorbis or Opus. Because YouTube.
Youtube still uses AAC along with Vorbis and Opus.
Chase Robinson
>Modern video containers (i.e. MKV, every thing else is irrelevant)
Why the plural then? Just say container, dumbass.
Julian Gomez
>Youtube still uses AAC along with Vorbis and Opus.
Only if you're on Applel using Safari (ie, the only web platform left without Vorbis and Opus native). Way to out yerself.
Nathan Clark
Literally nobody knows or cares about Vorbis or Opus, or ever will for that matter.
Camden Stewart
>Way to out yerself.
...did you even look at the image I posted?
Lincoln Foster
>saying this on this site
they literally not only use vorbis but require the 8th version which is out dated and 9 is now the standard so its a pain in the ass to create a webm
Austin Sanders
Every ONLINE video uses AAC.
Meanwhile actual professional video uses AC3, since it's still released on DVD.
Christian Russell
>...did you even look at the image I posted?
Um yeah. I could go on bout how I'm part of the youtube team and WebM is always preferred, but, ya know... no details eh.
Tyler Sanchez
>implying I have or ever will create(d) a webm
Fuck it man, I try to avoid WATCHING those shits.
Hopefully Sup Forums will get APNG soon so I can do it
Benjamin Green
>they literally not only use vorbis but require the 8th version which is out dated and 9 is now the standard so its a pain in the ass to create a webm
this... makes no sense. There are no non-interoperable versions of Vorbis.
Henry James
>Literally nobody knows or cares about Vorbis or Opus, or ever will for that matter.
xcept every streaming service and the likes of discord
Zachary Watson
or just fucking embed stuff from streamable or gifycat or imgur's gifv and other sites that discord easily embeds from
William Reed
I think you might be confusing VPx (a family of free video codecs) with Vorbis (a free audio codec).
>Fuck it man, I try to avoid WATCHING those shits.
Why? It's a perfectly reasonable video format.
>Hopefully Sup Forums will get APNG soon so I can do it
APNG is a clunky non-standard extension which basically no-one uses.
