ffmpeg -i input -c:v copy -c:a aac -b:a 256k output.mp4

while executing

it gaves me error saying
[aac @ 0000000002a802e0]
                The encoder 'aac' is experimental but experimental codecs
are not enabled, add '-strict -2' if you want to use it.
[aac @ 0000000002a802e0]
                 Alternatively use the non experimental encoder
'libvo_aacenc'.

So i used
                ffmpeg -i input.MTS -c:v copy -c:a libvo_aacenc -b:a 256k
mp4fro output.mp4

and it works .


i am just curious to know why aac is not working with my version of ffmpeg

[ ffmpeg Details :]

so any one can explain how i can make aac codec working with my ffmpeg
