QuickTime has a poor AAC encoder? I don't think you'll find anyone credible who seriously believes that.

I think it used to be just okay, now I believe it's one of the best.

Maybe he was getting confused with Quicktime's rubbish H.264 encoder (or the low quality of the open source AAC encoder)?

Yeah, I was confused with the H.264 encoder (and the MP3 encoder). My mistake.
