[d.gordenin at ngslab.ru]

Thank you guys for the explanation. And for the excellent software!

>> The MP4 container only supports a few audio codecs namely these:
>> Advanced Audio Coding (AAC)
>> <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Audio_Coding>, Audio Lossless Coding
>> <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_Lossless_Coding> (ALS), Scalable
>> Lossless Coding <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Lossless_Coding>
>> (SLS), MP3 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3>, MPEG-1 Audio Layer II
>> <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-1_Audio_Layer_II> (MP2), MPEG-1 Audio
>> Layer I <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-1_Audio_Layer_I> (MP1), CELP
>> <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CELP>, HVXC
>> <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVXC> (speech), TwinVQ
>> <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TwinVQ>, Text To Speech Interface (TTSI) and
>> Structured Audio Orchestra Language
>> <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured_Audio_Orchestra_Language> (SAOL),
>> Apple Lossless <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Lossless>, Free Lossless
>> Audio Codec <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLAC> (added in late 2018), and
>> Opus <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opus_(audio_format)> (added in late
>> 2018)
>>
>> Use a different container like MKV if you want support for almost every
>> audio codec available
