Bug Description

Mencoder does not seem to support FAAC. FAAC support is necessary to create iPod compatible videos. The message below is showed by SIVE (https://launchpad.net/sive)

FAAC support is necesserary to produce iPod compatible files. Please build mplayer/mencoder with FAAC support.
SIVE can't continue.

Floola, which also uses mencoder to convert video files, doesn't seem to work too. Please, build mencoder with FAAC support.

So this *is* fixed now? I'm getting the same thing you got, and I'm on Hardy.

Oh, I didn't realize this was the Medibuntu Launchpad. So is this just fixed in Medibuntu? What do I need to do to get this working?

Man, these comments need to be editable or deletable, if only for a limited time. I hate having to post another comment every time I realize something, like the fact that MEDIBUNTU IS NOT A DISTRIBUTION, like Ubuntu Studio. Oops.

So... Disregard my last comment. I still have no idea what's wrong here, though, and what the fix requires.

Dear Lionel, tell me something:

Has this been corrected on Hardy? I am having the same message here on Hardy: that mencoder does not have faac support. I don't know if it is a problem on sive (sive.sourceforge.net) or that it haven't been corrected yet.
