[MacDV] Re: OT: AAC > MP3

[Filipp Lepalaan]

I can't remember
precisely, but I think
Quicktime 6.3 (the one with
AAC encoding) is no longer
suppoerted on 9 (it's 6. something else)

The same thing applies to Windows
QT btw, if you encode in OS X as AAC,
it won't play on Windows. Talk about
cross-platform! ;)
