A few weeks ago I used claude to reverse engineer the linux version of resolve to add support for AAC media. The patch is here, and it works great:

AAC streams are decoded and sent to ffmpeg.

Does this introduce lag while editing?

What about for encoding? For example if you want to export a video from Resolve in its final form with AAC audio. The readme mentions decoding but not encoding.

    No, why would it?

    > What about for encoding?

    Only decode support. You can add encode support via the official plugin api.

      I don't know, that's why I asked. I haven't done a deep dive into creating custom plugins for Resolve, so I don't know what the implications of that are from a performance perspective.

      I wasn't able to benchmark it directly since it's only compatible with the Studio version.
