Hi

I convert my video streams sperated, video stream with mencoder to h264 and I need convert the audio ac3 stream now.

I tried avconv and ffmpeg. avconv seems not to support 6 channels and ffmpeg if I use ffmpeg, the audio is wrong.
I play a coded audio file on an stereo equipment, the language is only on one box and background sounds on both boxes.

I tried:
ffmpeg -i input.ac3 -acodec libfaac -ac 6 -ab 256k -y output.aac
ffmpeg -i input.ac3 -ab output.aac

Regards,
jack
