Wikipedia:
"AAC has been standardized by ISO and IEC as part of the MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 specifications.[4][5] Part of AAC, HE-AAC ("AAC+"), is part of MPEG-4 Audio and adopted into digital radio standards DAB+ and Digital Radio Mondiale, and mobile television standards DVB-H and ATSC-M/H."

Basically, you can't edit right away your Resolve tutorials with Resolve!
You have to extract huge WAV, then sync, edit video, to finally render.
Size and render time is also an issue since 500MB+300MBWAV = 2.3GB H265 mp4
On the licence side:
"No licenses or payments are required for a user to stream or distribute content in AAC format.[48] This reason alone might have made AAC a more attractive format to distribute content than its predecessor MP3, particularly for streaming content (such as Internet radio) depending on the use case.
However, a patent license is[when?] required for all manufacturers or developers of AAC codecs.[49] For this reason, free and open source software implementations such as FFmpeg and FAAC may be distributed in source form only, in order to avoid patent infringement. (See below under Products that support AAC, Software.) "
OK, but since there are existing libraries, would BlackMagic have to pay to call them?
Search for "AAC Decoder" in synaptic (Ubuntu) to see libraries.
If it's tied to the the developper, BM have already paid the licence (for Windows and Mac at least), right?
What about the existing libraries?
