Ok, i'm a newbie. I came across the DVD to AVC guide here on After Dawn today and have been busy making some nice high quality/low size .mkv's which is something I have wanted to be able to do for a while.
The only problem I have now (last hurdle!) is I can't seem to downmix 6 channel AC3 to stereo using *Nero AAC : NDAAC-HE-64bbps* (i've selected downmix in the config) All I get is muffled background noise on the .mp4 file that is produced. I'm completely stuck, any help greatly appreciated, it is no doubt something simple to rectify.
Here is my log
