If I have a look at it now= , what > I can see is: > AAC_DESC?=3D =A0 =A0 =A0Enable support for aac/mp4 > MP4_DESC?=3D =A0 =A0 =A0Enable support for mp4 Hmm. I don't understand why one should assume that aac should pull in mp4 or the other way around. I may want to generate plain AAC (m4a) audio files with no mp4 use and I may want to generate an mp4 file using a codec other than AAC. The standard support several codecs, though AAC is clearly dominant and I suspect is universal in commercial DVDs. But I have many mp4s with (yuck) MP2 audio as is generated by my HD component video to computer interface. It's going to be really hard to deal with these sorts of things. But being able to set for IPv6 support once instead of per port would be very nice. I also suspect that multimedia is a particularly ugly case for this sort of thing. > > Both added by me :) > > In this particular case, I think only one is useful > same goes for; > > ID3TAG_DESC?=3D =A0 Support ID3 v1/v2 tags > ID3_DESC?=3D =A0 =A0 =A0Enable support for id3 tags Here I think you are right. I can't imagine a case where they are not, though my imagination might be lacking a bit. --=20 R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer E-mail: kob6558@gmail.com
