![]() Let's hope that ffmpeg will support xHE decoding soonish. ![]() Instead of wasting time on a high number of low-bitrate tools (those rates aren't a target nowdays) it's a wise decision to concentrate on high and middle rates those actually count. VBR mode 1(lowest) result in like 64kbps. Quote from: nu774 on 13:52:02 As is written in README, exhale doesn't target low bitrate ranges. On the contrary 32-64 or maybe 16-64 sounds like a better target. Not that there is no room of improvement but it's definitely not a "struggling range" per se. So in the case of xHE-AAC the whole idea of it's existance is targeting bitrates where other existing codecs are struggling, and 64Kbps+ bitrate ranges are not one of them. So unless something extremelly revolutional happens in the computing world, focus on lowering bitrates on any type of media content is always the best interest of any healthy and self respecting project. You see through a quite narrow lens which is like personal use, which can still be argued that people still care about really low bitrates hence low bitrates are, will and should be a target, but on a wider lens like big companies, radio stations, streaming services and the list goes on, care alot on reducing their bandwith and storage footprint because on a larger scale the slightest saving you can do has a massive impact on your running costs and profit. I still think that low bit rates are, will and should be a target.
