Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) encoder.
-This encoder is the default AAC encoder, natively implemented into FFmpeg. Its
-quality is on par or better than libfdk_aac at the default bitrate of 128kbps.
-This encoder also implements more options, profiles and samplerates than
-other encoders (with only the AAC-HE profile pending to be implemented) so this
-encoder has become the default and is the recommended choice.
+This encoder is the default AAC encoder, natively implemented into FFmpeg.
@subsection Options
The @var{ac3} encoder uses floating-point math, while the @var{ac3_fixed}
encoder only uses fixed-point integer math. This does not mean that one is
always faster, just that one or the other may be better suited to a
-particular system. The floating-point encoder will generally produce better
-quality audio for a given bitrate. The @var{ac3_fixed} encoder is not the
-default codec for any of the output formats, so it must be specified explicitly
-using the option @code{-acodec ac3_fixed} in order to use it.
