What should neroaacdec.exe output to stdout?

faad works, but can't get neroaacdec to do the same job - decode mp4 to stdout

[font= "Courier New"]example: neroaacdec -if in.m4a -of - > out.nero
result : out.nero with size 0

example: neroaacdec -if in.m4a -of - | flac -s - -o out.nero.flac
result : flac.exe - ERROR: for encoding a raw file you must specify a value for --endian, --sign, --channels, --bps, and --sample-rate

example: neroaacdec -if in.m4a -of - | flac -s --ignore-chunk-sizes - -o out.nero.flac
result : flac.exe - ERROR: for encoding a raw file you must specify a value for --endian, --sign, --channels, --bps, and --sample-rate


example: neroaacdec -if in.m4a -of out.wav
result : valid WAV as expected[/font]


BTW, do check nero help: 'neroaacdec -help' for options

PS flac is just illustrative example


[edit] Well, I found out that file named '-' is created instead directing to stdout, which should be wrong according wiki (and common sense I guess):

neroAacDec.exe -if <input file> -of <output file> [-chapter <number>]

Where:

<input-file>
    Path of source input file to decode, in MP4 format.
<output-file>
    Path to decode the file to, in WAV format.
    Specify - to decode to stdout.

Works as expected.
Version of neroaacenc.exe: "Package build date: Dec 17 2009  Package version:    1.5.1.0"

Thanks lvqcl

I had previous version 1.3.3.0. Updating solved this issue.

So probably writing to stdout was not implemented in 1.3.3 version, although it would be strange as any solid program has stdin/stdout consideration. And change-log does not mention anything:

neroAacDec:
- Improved error handling
- Speed up
