That's good news, I'll try to test at the next best opportunity.

Regarding AAC encoding, it seems that handbrake now supports faac, ffaac
and fdk-aac but is missing vo-aacenc. Is there any specific reason for
that? I have once read it provides better quality than ffaac and is more
liberally licensed than both faac and fdk-aac.

Moreover, the command line utility still has faac hard-coded for most
profiles. I think this should be changed to a general "aac" and the
actual implementation chosen from the available codecs (like e.g.
gstreamer does). Do you know if there are plans to support this?
