I know about the various video codecs and how they compare, but some audio formats elude me.
I know all about mp3 and ogg and flac, their compression rates and quality levels and so on. But I am not familiar with other, potentially better formats.
How does AC3 compare to those? AAC? is there some other, even better audio format to look out for?
How are those (AC3, AAC, hypothetical better format) licensed? who owns them? how is compatibility with devices? etc
