I know there are some other conversation about re-encoding videos to H.265 to save space but I am having issues getting the sound quality I want. I have been using Handbrake for Windows and maybe it does not have the setting I want. I am looking for 5.1 Dolby which I have seen on some other video's I have but have not been able to duplicate in Handbrake. It seems that I can choose either 5.1 or Dolby \ Dolby Pro Logic II. If I choose Dolby it shows as 2.1 when I am done. I must be doing something wrong. Anyone with experience in this have any suggestions?

Did the original track even come with more than two channels? Or did you make a mistake when making your originakl rip (downmux to stereo, which tends to be more compatible on other devices)
i use staxrip and can mux in the original sound, or convert it to dolby digital at like 640kbps(which is fine for comedies or whatever). Switch to that, it's easy.
Thanks, I will have a look. I settled on Handbrake partly because it was the most recommended free app and partly because it the batch program to allow you to do a batch of videos

Do Passthru for the Audio so it doesn't recompress it
thanks
I wasn't exactly sure what that setting was for. I will give it a try
