I have No Idea What To Do Now To Convert Videos With acodec libfaac

Solution

You need to just use aac instead.

ffmpeg -i demo.mpg -acodec aac -strict experimental demo.mp4

aac and libfaac give same quality? because im using libaac more then year and i have no idea about the difference between two of them. im curious

It'd probably help the OP to include a command to use libfdk_aac, and maybe some background as to why it would be a better solution.
