    A question for the audiophiles...

    AVIDemux has two options for encoding the audio into AAC, FDK and LAV:

    I know even less about audio than I do video, so am interested in your thoughts about which would be preferred out of these two.

    Thanks!

    According to listening tests FDK should be preferred over lav.
    See here: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/HighQualityAudio

    The AAC (lav) is the ffmpeg native aac encoder and is not the best quality, although it is acceptable for non critical use.
