AAC 5.1 to AC3 5.1

[anirban]

Can anyone tell me how to convert AAC 5.1 to AC3 5.1 with bit rates upto 448kbps?

That's silly. Why would do do that?

[anirban]

It is not at all silly! I have a MKV file with AAC 5.1 audio. I want play in DivX player so I need to convert the audio into AC3 5.1 and the x264 video into DivX.

All in all -> silly. To unmake something of greater into something of less.
To rewrite a program in C++ in VB.
But I suggest you take a look at forum.doom9.org -> I'm sure you'll find lots of information there.

Compatibility is not a bad reason to do a conversion.

Just consider it comparing lower quality sound to no sound at all.

[Elysia]

I don't find it amusing at all. Converting top-of-the-notch compression and sound into something lower quality and older. Plus a re-encode WILL result in lower quality, no matter what you do. That's the way of lossy encodes.

Meh, s/he can always copy the file first.

I don't like the idea, but good luck. Doom9 is the forum for audio & video compression.
