Bug Description

Binary package hint: ffmpeg

I am trying to encode an mp4 video for my cellphone, but ffmpeg does NOT work:
ffmpeg -f mp4 -vcodec mpeg4 -b 700 -qmin 3 -qmax 5 -g 300 -acodec aac -ab 192 -r 15 -s 176x144 -i 300.mp4 300-320.mp4
It says:
Unknown codec 'aac'

Apparently, ffmpeg was NOT built correctly to offer AAC support:
--enable-faad --enable-faac

 ffmpeg -formats | grep aac says that:
 D aac ADTS AAC
but unfortunately, encoding with AAC just doesn't work!

Please fix this as soon as it is possible, because otherwise there is no way to encode video for our cellphones! Thx!

I am not the only one with the problem btw, others on the forums too.
