Converting Advanced Audio Coding Files directly to MPEG-4 Videos (.aac to .mp4 conversion) is quite uncommon, but should still be possible for generating a video with a still image and an audio track only.

To accomplish that, use one of many dedicated video editing tools, such as FormatFactory or Nero Video.

Understanding AAC and MP4 file formats

AAC (Advanced Audio Codec) is a popular audio format known for its ability to provide high-quality sound at lower bit rates. It is widely used in streaming services and is the default audio format for many devices and platforms.

MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is a digital multimedia container format most commonly used to store video and audio. It can also contain other data such as subtitles and still images. MP4 is highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of devices and media players.

How to convert AAC to MP4

Converting an AAC file to an MP4 file involves adding a video track to the audio, as MP4 is primarily a video format. This can be useful for creating video files with audio content for platforms that require video formats.
