  • QTFiles

    use qaac without installing iTunes

    • - IMPORTANT: These QTfiles are not included in the official encoder pack: I had issues converting FLAC to AAC and could not find a clear answer (kept getting "The encoder has terminated prematurely with code 2 (0x00000002); please re-check parameters") and I finally discovered that I needed to download the QTfiles dlls in order to properly convert from FLAC using qaac. These files can be downloaded here (https://github.com/AnimMouse/QTFiles/releases). Just unzip the 7zip folder into the encoder folder where you installed Foobar2000 (default location on Windows 10 would be: "C:\Program Files (x86)\foobar2000\encoders")

  • Important info for all retro streamers. Change audio encoder to Apple AAC. Default FFmpeg AAC is trash, especially for NES and Gameboy games.
