FDKAAC help?

[Adithya]

I am trying to encode some of my MP3's to he-aac v2 to put into a video file, But since ffmpeg doesn't support that codec i've had to use fdkaac.

The problem is that it only supports wav as input format.

Is there anyway to convert an mp3 to he-aac v2 using fdkaac, or any other softwares? I know about handbrake but i need a standalone CLI.

Thanks in advance

Hi
Use FFmpeg to decompress the mp3 to wav, then pipe it to fdkaac.
Like this...

ffmpeg -i file.mp3 -f wav - | fdkaac --ignorelength --profile 29 --bitrate 32k -o file.m4a -

(Those two "-" symbols are the stdout and stdin pipes.)
(This "|" pipe symbol links the stdout output from FFmpeg to the stdin input of fdkaac.)
