Hello,
I am a noob in DVD Ripping and i want to Rip some i own just to throw them away because of space reasons and place the resulting Videos on a Media Server.
All are AC3 5.1(48kHz) 384kbs
I can do AC3 Passthru and everything works ok but i found out that some Android devices do not want to play because the audio track is AC3
If I change to AAC everything works.
Now here is the question:
In Handbreak what is the correct setting to encode AC3 5.1(48kHz) 384kbs into AAC(avcodec)?
What is the correct Bitrate? 384kbs like the original AC3?
What is the correct mix? 5.1 ? Dolby Pro Logic II ? Dolby Surround?
Because I want to throw away the DVDs I will Rip them with all audio tracks and subtitles cause if i want to ever get back to them, to have something decent to work on(maybe re-encoding in a different video format in the future as technology evolves and players aren't compatible anymore with old formats etc) so i would like to preserve the audio track as close to the original, not to lose to much quality.
thx in advance
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

I'm not sure Android ever supported AC3 as such, but you can install a player that does. Apparently Dolby started going after developers of non-free players or players that have paid versions (for licence fees), but there's free players that support AC3. For example,
VLC https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.videolan.vlc
AC3 Player https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nppl3.hd.video.player
My favourite player removed AC3 support from it's free version a fair while ago, but you can install a separate codec for decoding AC3 yourself.
MX Player: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad
Custom codecs: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/mx-player-custom-codec-dts-support-t2156254
You can keep the original AC3 and convert it to AAC too. It won't make the files all that much bigger unless there's several audio tracks. I thought that's what Handbrake did by default but I don't use it so maybe I'm remembering wrong.
If you want to keep the original video quality too, you can rip DVDs with MakeMKV. It doesn't re-encode. It just puts everything in an MKV container.
