mp4tools are a set of scripts to encode Audio and Video in Isomedia (aka MP4) format
mp4tools uses opensources programs as backends like mencoder, MP4Box, xvid, x264
and its quality is very good.
There are presets for most common devices like Sony PSP, Apple iPod, Nokia S60 phones,
so you haven't to go in the jungle of encoding options, firmware bugs, unsupported configurations
common in all embedded devices.
mp4tools hot functions are:
After installing you will have two type of scripts, some named mk* and other named dvd2*
For example, mkipod encodes a video file to the ipod format, while dvd2ipod rips a DVD into the same format
The included scripts are:
Additionally, there are amrenc and aacplusenc, which respectively encodes to AMR and AAC+

just compiled, and successfully encoded a wav!
all went fine, thanks.
does it work only with 16bit wav?
i've also tried to encode a 32bit wav and this produced the file that is not audible...
teknoraver2007-11-26 00:08:40
Never tried 32 bit, but it isn't supposed to work as the routine stores samples as 16 bit values
roman2007-11-26 00:42:36
and one more question :)
do you happen to know any good aac+ stream specification?
i need to know if aac+ file has SBR and PS to correctly report the samplerate and number of channels to a streaming server for accurate info.. ADTS headers don't contain the information about SBR and PS so i end up getting 22050hz/1 channel for files that are in fact 44100hz/2 channels (aac+v2)..
teknoraver2007-11-26 00:52:34
No there isn't.
SBR and PS part are encoded as ancillary data, so the only way to recon it is tryng to decode as AAC+ first,
then if it fails it's plain AAC
This is because usually AAC is wrapped in MP4.
Many muxers, most notably MP4Box, has a switch to mark the file as (HE-)AAC+
BTW, for technical questions contact me via mail
nix2007-12-14 10:07:30
thanks for this wonderful software.. I hope this works better than faac encoder for HE-AAC. love ya.. nix.

Hi! how to that output file of 'aacplusenc' was in a raw aac format? what needs to be changed in the source code that was it?
Alx2007-12-27 17:23:40
why compile 'aacplusenc' without fftw3 support? :(
Alx2007-12-27 18:51:37
sorry, i realized! ;\
and 'aacplusenc' can read wav data from stdin?
teknoraver2007-12-27 18:55:09
you can use stdin and stdout using - as filename
Alx2007-12-28 12:19:15
Thanks!
...
I found that the old encoder (v0.2) encodes better than the current one. Why?
teknoraver2007-12-28 17:55:09
you may be wrong, the encoding algorithm is still the same, just the IO routine and FFT are changed.
If you talk about mono encodings yes, they are broken
Alx2007-12-28 19:19:13
I used stereo. I thought that in the m4a container, quality of sound a bit better. What is this ADTS format? there is a suggestion to make the optional argument #5 - 'nops' to be force disable ps. (may want) =)
teknoraver2007-12-28 19:24:50
use bitrates >= 52kbit to don't use PS
Alx2007-12-28 19:26:49
And in the releases, which are published in the [http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/html-info/26410.htm] coding algorithm updates or remain the same?
Alx2007-12-28 19:30:51
if i want to encode in down bitrate without ps? what can i do?
Alx2007-12-28 19:40:36
sorry that ask so many questions.. but how do I compile your source code under windows?
teknoraver2007-12-28 22:11:59
You can compile under windows with cygwin, but I already have the win32 build so...
ANd, the algorithm updates very very rarely
And(2) low bitrates without PS will hear badly, so it's enabled by default
Alx2007-12-29 11:40:44
Ok! thanks! I want to try to update algorithms. which files in the source should be replaced with updated to update aac encoding algorithms, sbr, ps, and other, affect the quality of coding?
teknoraver2007-12-29 15:48:27
Algorithm is in libaacenc and libsbrenc
Chris2008-01-01 20:28:29
Thanks! I've been having problems getting anything encoded with faac to play on my ipod or in quicktime 7.3, this works.
you might add :threads=auto to the end of your x264opts to take advantage of dual core processors
teknoraver2008-01-01 21:22:18
"threads=auto" gives slighty worse quality and NO speed increase, this on my Dual CPU system.
Also, for some obscure reason movies encoded so won't play on PSP
Chris2008-01-03 05:01:21
thanks for reply, I have the following:
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5500 @ 1.66GHz (Family: 6, Model: 15, Stepping: 6)
I definitely get a speed improvement on my system, I'll just edit the script locally.
thanks for the info

How can i set the bitrate of aacplusenc.exe windows binary version?
It only works with an bitrate of 32.
If i try 48 it tells me:
No valid SBR configuration found for:

How can do other settings?
teknoraver2008-01-08 21:42:48
mono encoding is limited to 44kbit, and is currently broken.
I'll fix it in 0.13
Simon2008-01-08 21:45:33
Hi there, I'm higly interressted by this encoder, more especially in his library. But, I have some trouble compiling it under mac os 10.4.11.
I had no problem with fftw3 and faac. But, when I run "make" for aacplusenc, I got this error :

Could you explain it? I have try the single and double precision version of fftw with no effect...
By the way, is there any information on the use off the library?
Thanks

Simon2008-01-08 22:06:48
Ok, It seems to work pretty well, but, I still have an issue :
If I try to encode with bitrate higher than 51kbps, I got this error (here with 52) :
No valid SBR configuration found for:
br=52000
ch=2
sr=22050
The file is 44100 with 2 channels...
Another issue:
You said earlier that you if bitrate is < 52, PS is used or, vlc pretend that it is used for bitrate < 45...
Philippe2008-01-09 18:00:08
On Windows Vista I use aacplusenc.exe and the answer is always :
No valid SBR configuration found for :
br=32000
ch=20294
sr=2797732
The value of br depends on the bitrate parameter, but for ch and sr, the values are always the same : 20294 seems to be a strange value !!!
Thanks for your help
teknoraver2008-01-09 18:03:05
indeed, they are very strange values,
but i never tried Vista before.
Philippe2008-01-11 14:01:03
Is there a way to force ch and sr values on Windows version?
Philippe2008-01-11 14:06:49
It seems not to be a Vista problem : same values on XP with the same file.
Do I forgot something ?
teknoraver2008-01-11 20:43:15
No, you can't force them.
I read them from the WAV header (first 44 bytes)
Can you send me the WAV header via mail?

mkpsp has been broken in new release
i'm think bug is here:
mencoder "$1" $VF $OFPS -nosound -o "$2" ---> -of rawvideo <---
with that option mkpsp don't scaling video for appropriate dimensions (this option overrides scaling in $VF)
and another bug: (maybe only in my bash (3.2.25))
mkpsp exits after message "Scaling a 656x352 movie to 480x272"
i'm think that's becouse scaleres function return's "false" ($?=1); i'm added "true" at end of scaleres() - and it's working

thank's for useful scripts
awaiting next release

teknoraver2008-01-31 19:11:47

rawvideo is needed.
Also the scaling options are in $VF
add a line:

aacplusenc is an excellent encoder - thanks. Is there any chance of an option to encode in LC-AAC? (I know this is not in the spirit of the "aacplus" name but my ipod ignores the SBR+PS so is mono and half sample rate - quality still excellent even then but I need low bit rate for some audio books.)
teknoraver2008-02-01 02:50:09
@Andy
for LC-AAC there is faac.
If you want lower bitrates do a mono encoding, a 22050 Hz one, or both

Hi, I compiled the 0.16 aacplusenc version on mac osx tiger (10.4.11). Everything was nice except I had to remove #include <endian.h> cause tiger does not have any endian.h. (Compilation seem fine although)
You maybe had only tested it on Leopard?
The source version run ok but produce crasy files. Sound seem downsampled and music is NOT present.
Finally, running the precompiled version on my tiger lead to a beautifuel Bus Error...

I'm not a Mac expert, I compiled it on my dad mac (Leopard) and seemed to work.

The 16:9 video for ipod is scaled by ipod itself, thus all videos are shown as 4:3 cropped.
I wonder if it is possible to add a parameter to the scripts in order not to remove the letterbox on 16:9 videos or to add a missing one, something like:
"mkipod -letterbox <input>" ...
All the rest is perfect, many thx to the developers.
Alec2008-02-26 14:26:18
On Fedora 8, "normalize-audio" binary is just "normalize", would be also good to autodetect ...

Great collection of tools, many thanx!
Would it be possible with any of these tools to encode a live stream on the fly and hint it to DSS (Darwin / stream.dsp) (with some modifications maybe). That would be more then a great feature...
Anyone got some hints on this.. i played with vlc, but it's not working very well (at all ;)).
Cheers

these scripts can encode, but dunno how to stream
geierb2008-03-03 19:50:36
I do audio streaming with aacplusenc and an apache cgi script (my upstream is only 64kbit/s).
I just send the right header to the client (Content-Type: audio/3gpp) and convert my audio files to aac on the fly.
Here's an example for re-encoding mp3 files:
madplay -Q -b 16 -R 44100 -o wave:- \"$mp3filename\" | aacplusenc - - 32000 s 2>/dev/null
Basically madplay converts the mp3 to wav and writes it to stdout, aacplusenc picks it up with stdin, converts it and writes the aac data back to stdout. There apache picks it up automatically and streams it to the client.
Maybe this helps you with DSS.
Charles Goyard2008-03-06 16:10:46
Hi, thanks for your answer. Maybe you should consider converting your "view" video samples to something the flash player can read ? -- Regards

There are some errors in your script:
1) nokiatagger works on MP4 files, not AAC ones
2) you don't wrap the AAC file into an MP4
3) you don't use normalize-audio
4) mkmp4 does it all

I'm on Leopard PPC and tried with both compilers, Apple's and GCC4.2.3.
Both compiled w/o error but files soud like you have a really bad radio reception.
I have an older version of your encoder(0.7) that works fine so it might be an endian issue somewhere in the new code!?

great scripts, thanks
as far as the problem lucas is having
i think i figured it out.
i am using the ubuntu build from your repository.
in mp4tools. line 149 , the variable $OFPS has the switch -ofps added to it. this makes the encoding fail because on line 232 -ofps is prepended to the variable again.
i tried to post a diff earlier but it didnt work
i have a verizon voyager and using dvd2s60 and mk360 works for me , i am saving my files with a .mp4 extension.
additionally sometimes the crop detect results in heights and widths that will not play properly on my phone. I added 'exact' as the 5th paramater to the scaleres call within dvd2s60. I'm sure this issue varies from phone model to model

Fair enough, and good to know.
Well, i kind of need the mks60 to accept custom width, height and quality. My s60, per example, only accepts mks60 output if it has lower width/height. Oh, and mks60 goes bad with some filename. This one "[AuN-Bakadeshi] Let's just be SUPER CUTE GIRLS! (704x396 Xvid).avi" and a few others where pretty trick for my. I had to give a output name for it to work.
dizzy2008-07-10 03:31:24

Use mkipod which give superior quality over mks60
Thanks!!!!!
teknoraver2008-07-17 15:16:45
@Rommel
hehe i know, mkipod encodes as x264 while mks60 encodes with xvid.
You get better video but worse audio as mkipod uses AAC while mks60 uses AAC+
Edit your mks60 to use x264 and AAC+ and you'll have perfect settings.
I can't enable x264 in mks60 by default because some phones with less powerfull CPUs will not play it (eg. E65)

Hi, I tried aacplusenc on Leopard (10.5.3) compiled myself with apple's compiler and it works fine.
There is just one problem : I can't encode more than 64kbps and I'd like to be able to encode on 80 kbps...
Another question : Is there any guidelines on using the libraries? I'd like to use them to build a stream encoder.
Thanks
teknoraver2008-07-22 01:48:08
@NoSmile
maximum bitrate is 64kbit.
AAC+ achieves the same quality of AAC at half the bitrate,
so there is no need t ogo above 64kbit.
If you want higher bitrates, use plain AAC

cool :)

trying to run dvd2psp I get:
Encoding H.264 Video (1st pass)
...
The ofps option must be a floating point number or a ratio (numerator[:/]denominator): -ofps
Error parsing option on the command line: -ofps
Then says the same thing for pass 2 and then exits.
Any suggestions (PS I have also tried commenting out line 232 in mp4tools as per Randy below with no effect)
teknoraver2008-08-06 21:41:49
I know, i'll fix it when i'll have the time
i'm busy at work now
see you :)
galwa2008-08-14 12:29:09
Hay, I'm trying to incorporate thee aacplusenc into a project. some questions regarding it.
what PCM/RAW input bit rates does the encoder supports? (or more to the point what bitrate/channels/sampelrate combinations)
Should it be possible to use the encoder for AAC-HE v1 (does the PS mandatory)?
should it be possible to use the encoder for AAC only (no sbr)?
Do you have plans to add support for re entrant ?
teknoraver2008-08-17 13:33:04
it supports PCM input as:
mono or stereo
32, 44.1 or 48 khz
16 bit signed
PS is enabled on low bitrates (check the source) while SBR is mandatory
re entrant?
galwa2008-08-18 10:41:10
thanx,
re entrant -> The option to open multiple encoders. I guess it requires the removal of all static declarations for context approach.

The script works (tried mk3gp and dvd23gp) but there is never a resulting file saved anywhere.
Also get Mplayer error see below - not sure why...

Possible reasons, problems, workarounds:
- Most common: broken/buggy _audio_ driver
- Try -ao sdl or use the OSS emulation of ALSA.
- Experiment with different values for -autosync, 30 is a good start.
- Slow video output
- Try a different -vo driver (-vo help for a list) or try -framedrop!
- Slow CPU
- Don't try to play a big DVD/DivX on a slow CPU! Try some of the lavdopts,
e.g. -vfm ffmpeg -lavdopts lowres=1:fast:skiploopfilter=all.
- Broken file
- Try various combinations of -nobps -ni -forceidx -mc 0.
- Slow media (NFS/SMB mounts, DVD, VCD etc)
- Try -cache 8192.
- Are you using -cache to play a non-interleaved AVI file?
- Try -nocache.

I was getting the same output as @Acesabe, using mk3gp, then I tried mks60 and I got the converted 3gp file I needed.
Paul2008-09-01 03:27:48
Hi, I love these tools, makes everything so easy. The only problem I have is when using your aacplusenc 0.17.1 the resulting files have corrupted audio. There is distortion when playing it on my phone, and mplayer shows errors when seeking when i play it on my PC. When using neroAacEnc the audio is fine and mplayer does not show any errors (but it is slower and the resulting files are larger). I'm using 64-bit linux, maybe that has something to do with it?

I'm a total nube at this, can anyone give me a good example? Trying to convert a DVD to .mp4 for my PSP, here's what I tried:
dvd2psp lis.mp4 /dev/sdc1
also tried
dvd2psp lis.mp4 .media/LOST_IN_SPACE_16X9
In both cases I get this error:
Analysing input file
No streams found, encoding failed
I'm sure that I'm not pointing to the DVD correctly,but not sure what I should use for the path... can anyone help?
Thanks!
tachikoma2008-12-06 20:38:47
For some reason, my post did not put a space between the .mp4 and the /dev/sdc1, but that's what I entered in the terminal window... sorry for any confusion.
yozziebear2008-12-10 22:12:08
Will you be getting a key for your repos?
jean2008-12-13 15:02:43
hello,
do you know if there is a way to encode and stream audio in aac+ format ?
I use to do it as mp3, for a radio with darkice or edcast-jack, but they don't support aac+
and I need jack support, because I compress and correct sound before streaming.
it seams to be a difficult thing to find :-)
thank you.

holy_reds2009-01-10 00:31:19
Wow, this tools are nice...
Tried it in default setting to convert from .mkv to .mp4 and the quality difference is not significant(noticeable), plus the file size is small like hell (50~60 MB for 25min video)...
The only bad thing is encoding process takes much time compared to other converter/encoder...
But still it's the best mp4 encoder in Linux...
And a little question, how to configure this tools?

Hello - Thanks for a great "available" AAC+ encoder.
I've tried others - but, none comes close to this one.
Just a note:
Windows binary aacplusenc.exe only goes to 51kbps.
Would be nice to go to 64.
Also, would be nice to go CBR.
Thanks again!
PS: I've configured a univeral frontend for this encoder.
It will transcode mp3, flac and wav to AAC - and will even
change the container to MP4 if you wish.
If anyone wants it .. let me know.
aldolat2009-01-22 11:52:51
Thank you for this wonderful software! :)
I'd like to know if you're planning to implement the Theora conversion.
Thanks!
psychok92009-02-21 02:25:44
Hello and thank you for your work!
I've many problems with your HE-AAC+v2 encoder: i play correctly your website sample m4a... but with my mp3 I have a lot of problems during playing, and ignore if i try to set any bitrate! 48, 56 or 64k!
Can you help me? Thank you!
Sorry for my english, i'm italian.

Hi, thx for your work, but one question:
I want to convert files with mkipod and everything works very well. But i have a a/v offset of 500 msecs. I cant locate the position in your script to set this delay. Is this possible?
teknoraver2009-05-18 15:54:59
@raha
probably it's in mp4tools in the function avmux
teknoraver2009-05-18 15:55:47
@aldolat
no, theora isn't an MPEG4 standard, so no
ronybc2009-06-05 17:35:33

Hi.
Thanks for the scripts. I use mkpsp for my iphone/PSP. It kinda works - the files are nice and small and the video quality is good but the audio gets out of sync like halfway through a video. I don't know how to fix it.
Please help and thx again for the nice work.
James
