Hey guys. I m a bit new to the extracting encoding/transcoding world for movies so i need a bit of help. The odd times i am finding movies that will not play on my xbox 360. Most of the time it is only blue ray ripped movies or movies with too many audio channels. Most of the time i can use software to simply convert the video files to a workable xbox 360 copy. However, i am wondering what avenues i should go about when i encounter a situation where it only seems that the audio containers are what i need to change, instead of converting an entire movie and spending many hours waiting for it.
So for example, i have a blue ray rip of a movie that currently will not play on my xbox 360 in this format. I have all the details here:

I am assuming that because of the 6 channel audio, that is why i am having issues? if there are more reasons, let me know. So here are my main questions. What is the simplest/fastest route to take to convert this so it will run on my xbox 360? I assume i could extract the audio and then transcode it back into a new format that will work on my 360. However, if there are faster and simpler ways for me to go, please let me know and if possible give me as many details as possible, such as what are the best software programs to use etc. Thanks for your time !!!
P.S. - i currently have a few software programs for converting video and extracting audio etc. so if needed i could list them. But if there are some good free ones out there that may work better for my situation let me know !
