“sudo apt-get update” (this installs the latest updates in Ubuntu) Enter (or copy/paste the following commands into the terminal, WITHOUT quotes): Open a Terminal Window (Ctrl + Alt + T) and maximise it if you want to see all the text go by more clearly, you should start in your 'Home' directory, which is: (it should already be in the “Home” directory by default).ģ. Obvious note: Don’t forget to press ‘enter’ after typing/pasting each terminal command to execute it!Ģ. See this guide if you need help installing Ubuntu in VirtualBox: Īlternatively, if you have the Windows 10 Creators update installed, you can complete this build process using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), however it is command line only and is only recommended for more advanced users, its also much slower due to the way it handles disk access! (See: )

Fresh install Ubuntu (18.04.3 LTS is recommended due to a known set of packages and is easier for new users who want to attempt this process, later versions and other distros may work as well!), either on a PC via dual booting (or on a separate PC!), or on a Virtual Machine through software such as VirtualBox or VMware (recommended HDD space: 20-25GB with an allocated 2GB or more of RAM). Note: This also works with VidCoder since it uses HandBrake as its encoding engine!ġ.

Warning: This process is not easy and is only recommended to more advanced users! The Mac version of HandBrake uses Apple’s Core Audio AAC encoder, which is better than FDK but cannot be provided on Windows as its a proprietary library.įortunately, you can still compile HandBrake from source and enable FDK as an optional compile-time option, this guide will tell you how this can be done for the Windows version of HandBrake: The default AAC encoder Libav ( ) is lacking in quality compared to FDK (especially at lower bitrates) as its only a basic AAC encoder, however from version 1.2.0 onwards, HandBrake uses the FFmpeg AAC encoder which is better than Libav but still not as good as FDK (see this website for more info about AAC encoders: ). Introduction: As you are likely aware, the FDK-AAC encoder was removed from Handbrake ( ) from version 0.10.5 onwards, as it can no longer be publicly distributed due to GPL licensing issues (see: ).
