iPod Ripping with Handbrake - DVD Audio Downmixing

[The Tuck]

Does anyone know if it's better to use a surround sound setting on the DVD when converting it to H.264 and have Handbrake down-mix the audio, or just set it on a 2 channel mix and rip it from that.

Thanks!

i always

do the 5 to 2 downmix, but i have no idea if it's better. do a listening test and let us know!
