I have some .mp4 files which contain H264 video and 6channel AAC audio. Unfortunately, the XBox360 that I want to stream this to does not support AAC 5.1 audio so I must downsample this 6channel AAC to 2channel AAC; and I'd like to use Dolby Pro Logic II to keep the surround information.
I don't want to touch the video stream at all, so I intend to use YAMB to split the AAC file and then downsample with whatever tool you guys suggest for the job and then remux it back with YAMB again.
It would be nice if this same tool could also do the above downsampling plus repackage an .mkv with H264 video into an mp4 container. Right now I have XenonMKV for that but I'd like to use as few tools as possible.
Thanks for the help.

Update:
I heard good things about MeGUI so I installed it, imported the 6ch AAC file and used the following settings:- Nero AAC Encoder (needed neroAacEnc.exe)
- AAC-LC profile
- Downmix to Dolby Pro Logic II
- VBR with Q=0.45
- Checked "Force Decoding via Directshow" (heard this made the output volume closer to the original stream.)
This seemed to provide me the results I'm looking for. I'm curious if this is what most people would have suggested, and if Nero AAC was a better choice over FAAC.
Also I wonder if MeGUI will allow me to skip the YAMB demux/remux steps and just send it an MP4, tell it to downmix just the audio and leave the video as is. -

If I never reencode another video again it will be too soon.
I noticed that the WDTV only supports up to 24fps for 1080p and that sometimes movies are 29fps. So in those minor cases I'll have to reencode. Wondering what the fastest tool for that would be considering I just want to reduce the fps.
