Hi
We got a wii for christmas, and it seems it can only handle audio in
"aac (.m4a)" format. However I have no experience with this format, but
I found faac and did "faac someaudio.wav", which produced someaudio.aac
and I also made a copy with extension .m4a. However the wii couldn't
find any audio files if I copied the .aac-file to the sd-card. If I
copied the .m4a file the files showes up in photo channel, but the wii
can't play them (something with "wrong format").
Any ideas and/or experiences with encoding for the wii in particular or
aac/m4a in general?

I haven't tried it, but ISTR mencoder and transcode being able to do this. I also
recall AAC being the required audio format for DVD's. If so, then all the Linux DVD
mastering programs can convert to it too.

It seems that mencoder actually uses faac, so I still to make faac work.

I didn't try this.

Earlier versions of the Photo Channel support mp3, not aac (I've never
updated for that reason.) After you've used the Twilight Hack to enable
arbitrary code execution on the Wii (if you haven't already), maybe you
can find a copy of the older version and downgrade it. As far as I know,
there are no other "improvements" in the newer versions other than
supporting aac and dropping mp3 support.
I'd love for someone to hack ogg support into that thing, but I imagine
someone will come up with a totally different, free-software-based photo
viewer first.

I haven't been able to get a hold of twilight princess yet, so no
downgrade for me.
Also, your (otherwise fine) solution is actually just a work-around, and
I'm still interested in being able to produce working m4a.
But thanks for the input!

I think you need the '-w' option for faac to wrap the file in a m4a
container. At least that helped to make things work for my phone.
