Description Peter Maersk-Moller 2014-01-28 13:47:22 UTC 
Faad and the whole libav is missing in the binary build for OS X maintained by the GStreamer Team and available at http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/pkg/osx/1.2.2/

The build also miss an AAC encoder. I would suggest faac, but Sebastian suggests voaacenc which is also missing in the build. Without it or faac and faad, mpeg-4 audio is really hard.

They are all here. Did you go on "Customize" during installation and selected the restricted and libav codec packages there?

Hi Sebastian.

I'm afraid I did not. I apologize. I did not even notice, that there was this customize button. Should it be more intuitive and install everything as default ? Perhaps, perhaps not.

Reinstalling, I see faad and a libav based aac encoder is available.

As said, faac would be nice to. But that require a feature request. Not sure how to create that though.

The same way you created this bug :) Just choose "enhancement" as severity
