i am using

ffmpeg.exe -i 0123456789 -ab 192k out.m4a
ffmpeg.exe -i 0123456789 -f wav - | oggenc2.exe - -r -q 6 -o out.ogg

(0123456789 has no extension). My m4a output is 14,608kb while my ogg output is 19,809kb

why? AFAIK -q 6 is roughly 192kb. So it should be about even. I could see one file being 1-3mb bigger then the other but 5 is pretty large. the m4a is almost 75% of the ogg! thats a lot! Why is this?

WPF MediaPlayer doesn't play M4A?

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
I am trying to use a MediaPlayer instance to play M4A files. For those of you that aren't familiar, MediaPlayer is the non-XAML version of a MediaElement. There are pretty much the same, but I don't want any XAML, so I use a MediaPlayer instead. Anyways, it plays some M4A files just fine. The NaturalDuration… >>> More

What is the difference between an .aac file and an .m4a file? If I just change the file extension of an audio file recorded and then converted into "AAC" between .aac/.m4a it drastically affects how the file is treated. AAC: Plays in a web browser, not on the iPad M4A: Plays on the iPad, not on… >>> More
