Description
Handbrake x64 0.10.5 20160212 Non-Free build with FDK-AAC encoder (HE-AAC).7z
Handbrake 64-bit for Windows THIS IS A "NON-FREE" BUILD THAT INCLUDES THE FDK-AAC ENCODER version: custom 0.10.5 build from the 20160212_b7cb7d6 nightly Handbrake announced on 20160211: "Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control we can no longer include binary distributions of HandBrake which include the FDK-AAC encoder. * Removal of FDK AAC from our binary releases. --enable-fdk is required for "non-free" builds if compiling from source." So to get the new 0.10.5 features and be able to encode HE-AAC audio, compiling from the source is required with the --enable-fdk flag. How this share was compiled: https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/CompileOnWindows Basically, Linux is needed to compile a "non-free" version of HandBrakeCLI.exe and hb.dll. Then, Visual Studio on Windows is used to generate the GUI. The final product is a 0.10.5 family "non-free" build that has HE-AAC audio encoding support just like 0.10.3 and earlier versions. It's all ready to run, just unzip the archive, maybe rename the folder, and run Handbrake.exe.

"non-free" are encoder libraries what have licenses that are not compatible with the GPL license. so handbrake, which is GPL, can't distribute FDK with their normal build.
BUT they provide the source code and the procedure so users can compile "non-free" versions that include the non-GPL libraries.
net-net: this software is free to use, includes FDK (which enables HE-AAC audio), and is not fully GPL compliant. use it and enjoy.
ffmpeg has the same deal as handbrake does; everything from this ffmpeg faq applies to handbrake re: FDK:
FFmpeg can support three AAC-LC encoders (aac, libfaac, libfdk_aac) and one HE-AAC(v1/2) encoder (libfdk_aac). The licenses of libfaac and libfdk_aac are not compatible with the GPL, so the GPL does not permit distribution of binaries containing code licensed under these licenses when GPL-licensed code is also included. Therefore these encoders have been designated as "non-free", and you cannot download a pre-built ffmpeg that supports them. This can be resolved by compiling ffmpeg yourself.
The Fraunhofer FDK AAC codec library is currently the highest-quality AAC encoder available with ffmpeg. Requires ffmpeg to be configured with --enable-libfdk-aac (and additionally --enable-nonfree if you're also using --enable-gpl).
