Full Version: Downmixing AAC 5.1

I've been downloading plenty of 1080p trailers lately from Apple's website, and exporting them to .mp4 for playback on the PS3 console.

However, I feel it does a poor job of downmixing the 5.1 AAC files to stereo (you can't pass through raw multichannel sound from the original .mov).

Is there a better .mov to .mp4 converter out there that does a better job of downmixing? If you want to see why I'm concerned about the downmixing, try the 300 Trailer...the bass sounds absolutely distorted and destroyed with the stereo downmix.

If you can demux the mov (with mp4box) then downmix and convert the AAC with foobar2000, that might work better.
