I never once in 25 years encountered an issue with an mp4 Container that could Not be solved by installing either the divx or xvid codec. And I extensively used mp4's metatdat for music, even with esoteric Tags.

Not Sure what youre talking abouz.






He's saying that in 25 years, you used only the LC and HE profiles, and didn't encounter TwinVQ even once. I looked at my thousand-odd MPEG-4 files. They're overwhelmingly AAC LC, a little bit of AAC LC SBR, no TwinVQ at all.

If you want to check yours: mediainfo **/*.mp4 | grep -A 2 '^Audio' | grep Format | sort | uniq -c

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TwinVQ#TwinVQ_in_MPEG-4 tells the story of TwinVQ in MPEG-4.
