Convert DD/TrueHD to AAC?

Hello, and thanks for this great program! I'm using it to create 3D movies to view on Google Cardboard, and it is awesome.

I'm a bit confused about the "Convert DTS & LPCM audio tracks to..." option on page 2. (I'm using 0.86, I haven't messed around with the 0.87 betas yet.) Actually, the option is clear, and it does exactly what it says it does.

The thing is, for this use case (make the movie 720p and small so it can be moved to a small device), I also want Dolby Digital and/or TrueHD audio to be converted to AAC as well. I want to get the audio as small as possible while still sounding OK.

I understand that maybe part of this is the whole AC3+THD file problem that you've been working on, but is there any way to make that option more of a "convert all audio to AAC/AC3"?

I know how to do it by hand with eac3to and mkvmerge, it would just be handy if it happened within the tool.

Thanks!
