Because of its exceptional performance and quality, Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is at the core of the MPEG-4, 3GPP and 3GPP2 specifications and is the audio codec of choice for Internet, wireless and digital broadcast arenas. AAC provides audio encoding that compresses much more efficiently than older formats, such as MP3, yet delivers quality rivaling that of uncompressed CD audio.
When compared side-by-side, AAC proves itself worthy of replacing MP3 as the new Internet audio standard. Take a look at these AAC advantages over MP3:
* Improved compression provides higher-quality results with smaller file sizes
* Support for multichannel audio, providing up to 48 full frequency channels
* Higher resolution audio, yielding sampling rates up to 96 kHz
* Improved decoding efficiency, requiring less processing power for decode
Технологиите се променят avi. контейнера ще се замени от mkv (все пак авито е създадено е 92 година и вече е старо да поддържа новите стандарти). Същото става с MP3ките, ACC се компресира по-лесно и има много по-добро качество от тях. Вече почнаха да ги слагат iPod-овете. Но АC3 си остава по-добър за филми, а най-високо в йерархията са си все още DTS-а и FLAC-a.
