FAAC with MAC OSX - 10-01-2008, 04:11 AM

Does anyone here who uses FAAC with the MAC OS have similiar errors when trying to convert to M4A?
The script is calling for the --w option,but this --w isn't an option.
I'm just curious if MAC uses the same script.
This is the results of trying to convert a .flac file,but I get the same results using .mp3 or .ogg.
Code:
Getting metadata from FLAC
Freeware Advanced Audio Coder
FAAC 1.25

faac: invalid option -- w
faac: unrecognized option `--artist'
faac: unrecognized option `--title'
faac: unrecognized option `--album'
faac: unrecognized option `--year'
faac: unrecognized option `--comment'
faac: unrecognized option `--genre'
faac: unrecognized option `--track'
Usage: faac [options] [-o outfile] infiles ...

        <infiles> and/or <outfile> can be "-", which means stdin/stdout.

Appendix C - Faac encoder command line

It IS an option...

Remove the extra dash

Dang.
For me it isn't.
Now I'll have to figure out why.

Do you use FAAC?
Just want to verify that it is included with the MAC version.
If it is,maybe I can add the relevant parts of the script,install any missing libraries,etc.
Thanks.
Code:
$ faac --help
Freeware Advanced Audio Coder
FAAC 1.25

Usage: faac [options] infiles ...
Options:
  -q <quality>  Set quantizer quality.
  -b <bitrate>  Set average bitrate to x kbps. (ABR, lower quality mode)
  -c <freq>     Set the bandwidth in Hz. (default=automatic)
  -o X          Set output file to X (only for one input file)
  -r            Use RAW AAC output file.
  -P            Raw PCM input mode (default 44100Hz 16bit stereo).
  -R            Raw PCM input rate.
  -B            Raw PCM input sample size (8, 16 (default), 24 or 32bits).
  -C            Raw PCM input channels.
  -X            Raw PCM swap input bytes
  -I <C,LF>     Input channel config, default is 3,4 (Center third, LF fourth)

MP4 specific options:
  MP4 support unavailable.

Documentation:
  --license     Show the FAAC license.
  --help        Show this abbreviated help.
  --long-help   Show complete help.

  More tips can be found in the audiocoding.com Knowledge Base at
  <http://www.audiocoding.com/wiki/>
EDIT:
It does look like the script is only using a single dash.
Now I'm confused.
Code:
function wavtoipod() 
{ 
   test -z $(which faac) && perror faac && return 
   m4aname="${encdir}/${EXTRA}/${shortname}.m4a" 
   nice -10 faac -w -q ${quality} -o "${m4aname}" "$1" 
   rm -f "${tempfile}" 
}

Turns out it was a problem with the libraries.
libmpeg4ip0 was being used,where-as libmp4v2 was needed.
Fixed now.
Thanks for replying.

Hi rolly

Glad to hear you fixed your problem. For some reason, it reminded me of this http://www.partage-facile.com/139362...linux.swf.html
