I pretty much used default options only changing the bitrage from 224 to 384 as is recommended for 5.1 but I then compared both audios and the wav sounds louder then the AC3 I didn't try to listen for other variances... Also the AC3 file is smaller in size...
Do you know more optimized settings I can do to have closer quality playback? Also powerdvd doesn't keep good track of timming for the AC3...

WAV files will be larger. When setting up did you come across this screen with it's Gain option?

wow...way to go Mystic! that was some solid, succinct Help...proving once again that a picture is worth a 1000 words.. Now, I'm intrigued..does this "AC3Machine" program have a multi-track mode? like a surround mixer for splitting a 2 channel to 6 channels(wav) to create a 5.1 audio? Also a "pitch" control would be nice too. I'm looking for a replacement for Adobe Audition for creating my 6 wav files, and "time stretching" that's a little more compact Progam but same quality(or better) That screen shot right there, tells me it has several very useful features right there...like the Delay feature.

AC3Machine is basically a front end for BeSweet.

http://dspguru.doom9.net/

The English link under guides/Ac3 Machine doesn't work but the Greek one does:

http://greek.doom9.org/index.html?/ac3machine.htm

Note though that this is very old stuff, from 2002.

well, darn it..so it's just a better GUI for BeSweet ...I was using BeSweet with a different GUI, but it didn't have a pitch control or Gain( that I could find) or a Delay! Does it have a Pitch "maintain" or adjust? I'll have to re-install Besweet to try this...and if it doesn't...
