eac3to need a parameter (-down6) to downmix 6.1/7.1 to 5.1, and for 6.1 have a bug remaping channels and need other remap parameter.

Then for 6.1 input you need type (in '+ Options' column of HD Streams Extractor'):
-0,1,2,3,5,6,4 -down6

I noticed something weird, tebasuna51. If I have a proper 5.1 channels DTS file and encode it with NicAudio while keeping the same channels etc. but with a constant bitrate, Nero marks the AAC file with a constant bitrate of 640. However, if I use the audio sample, Nero marks the audio file with a variable bitrate.
But, what is your problem with AAC VBR?
Is better than CBR and supported without problems in mp4/mkv containers.

Now there are other AAC encoders than Nero (QuickTime or Winamp-Fgh) but I never test CBR, I always use VBR.
