I've spent the last few hours trying to change my search criteria and read any info on plus & minus of converting DTS/DD (AC3) into AAC. The FAQ is a little out of date, the WD HD Live and some other hardware boxes do decode AAC fine. Some have said movies will not come with AAC audio due to royalties. However, the FAQ states Dolby assisted in the development of AAC I believe.
Anyway, I am overseas and not in my livingroom with my Denon AVR.
If I encode my Bluray's/DVD's inot H264 MKV's with AAC 5.1 audio channels. Would HE or LC be best (at their highest bitrate's). Would this effect any of the benefits of the DTS/DD channel info (dynamic range, metadata, audio quality (other than the fact your are transcoding a lossy format and will ultimately "lose" some data).
Will me Denon or any AV reciever still decode the format to the appropriate channels? or is that done with the WD HD Live box through the HDMI cable?
Forgive my ignorance, just a little behind on the formalities.
:thanks:
