LEAD AAC Encoder

The LEAD AAC Encoder Also known as compressor, this is a module or algorithm to compress data. Playing that data back requires a decompressor, or decoder. is a DirectShow® filter for compressing audio data using the AAC compression standard (ISO/IEC 13818-7). The AAC standard delivers high quality audio at lower bitrate compared to other audio encoding standards like ISO/MPEG Audio Layer-3; MP3.

This encoder offers both variable bitrate and constant bitrate. However, due to a limitation in the AVI multiplexer A module that combines audio and video into one file., the encoder offers constant bit rate only if it is connected to the AVI multiplexer.

Technical details for the filter are provided in the following table:
