Why is MeGUI encoding 5.1 AAC at 96KHz Sampling Rate???

I redid the encode and everything worked fine. Very strange.

I think we may have a sporadic bug in the free nero digital encoder...

Probably is nero see2 bug, i don't see that bug in sse version

I noticed sometime ago, Nero's free AAC encoder likes to generate AAC-HE encodes at the same sample rate as the source, instead of half it's sample rate (which I believe is good practice). I wonder, does MeGUI double the sample-rate of AAC-HE streams during encoding so they match the source too? If so, it could be doubling, what has already been doubled.... If you get my drift? Cheers

AAC-HE Sampling Observations 

Hmmm... Using BeLight and with CT's encoder set to "HE AAC High" and look what I got: - Media Info reports: - Code:

I was using the internal MPC decoder, whatever library that is based on. The AAC was inside an MP4 container generated by MeGUI, so I assume that means mp4box. The settings in MeGUI were the defaults, with the Q factor adjusted to .45 from a default of .5 Again, when I started over using the exact same source and MeGUI procedure, I got the correct result. Of course, I over-wrote the "bad" files, and don't have the logs anymore. I have not seen the problem since and have done several encodes. If I see it again, I will definately take some screenshots and keep all the input and output files so that a proper bug report can be done. I know my report wasn't very complete, it just seemed like a one time thing to me. I have been having a lot of computer problems which have just recently been resolved. I chalk the error up to that for now... Still, the ongoing debate seems to be going in a logical direction. Finally, @ kurtnoise13 1) I do know how to use the AAC encoder inside MeGUI. It is extremely simple. 2) there could be a decoder problem. 3) I think its more likely there is a problem with MeGUI, given its active development state. I didnt mean to complain. I was merely asking if anyone had encountered simmilar problems. The problem has gone away, and I'm not claiming that there is a bug in anyone's software. Just trying to get a little more info :) Anyway, thanks for the replies. It seems like other people are having similar issues. I hope it gets resolved. ~MiSfit

I tried a couple of tests, and this is what I found. The information is produced by ffdshow 2005-04-30 CCCP build. File: Opening the original vob and viewing the information on the audio, it clearly is 48000 Hz. File: Saving the wav and encoding using the 1.0.0.2 (neroAacEnc_SSE2.exe), I still get the original 48000 Hz in the aac file. Code:
