Rostislav Pehlivanov fcb681ac3e aacenc: use the fast coder as the default
The twoloop coder sounds decent at low bitrates, however at higher bitrates
it sounds worse than the fast coder (which used to be the old twoloop coder
before October 2015) and needs quite a lot more CPU.
Change the default to fast. It has been well tested and has had little changes
over the years so its been confirmed to be quite stable.
Also change its description (not valid for more than a year) and the
documentation.

FFmpeg README

FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.

Libraries

  • libavcodec provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.
  • libavformat implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.
  • libavutil includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.
  • libavfilter provides a mean to alter decoded Audio and Video through chain of filters.
  • libavdevice provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.
  • libswresample implements audio mixing and resampling routines.
  • libswscale implements color conversion and scaling routines.

Tools

  • ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
  • ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
  • ffprobe is a simple analysis tool to inspect multimedia content.
  • Additional small tools such as aviocat, ismindex and qt-faststart.

Documentation

The offline documentation is available in the doc/ directory.

The online documentation is available in the main website and in the wiki.

Examples
