I know people are doing something similar to this and getting good results but for some reason I'm stuck.  I'm probably overlooking something obvious.  I know the above code doesn't produce a high quality because I'm just trying to keep it simple for now to resolve this issue.  I can post back with any additional info needed.  I do appreciate any help thanks!

Use -oac faac -faacopts mpeg=4:object=2
