faac 1.28 x64 build for Windows
After some searching I’ve come to a conclusion that no x64 (AKA 64 bit) builds exist for faac audio encoder which I prefer for my HDV video transcoding, among all other useful things it can do as well, so I decided to compile faac for x64 Windows myself. Visual Studio 2008 (thank you MSDNAA!) did the thing perfectly.
The source code for this build was taken from audiocoding.com, and the latest version for faac at the moment of writing is 1.28. I’ve made two modifications:
- added HAVE_INT64_T and HAVE_U_INT64_T declarations to input.h
- added build name and arch type to FAAC tagline
So here’s the x64 build of faac 1.28 for your convenience: FAAC 1.28 x64 build
I’d like to note, however, that this build works only on x64 architecture Windows as the code uses 64-bit integers therefore this build won’t work on x86 (aka 32-bit Windows).
