i have an mkv movie with ~192kbps HE-AAC 5.1 audio. i plan to convert it to AC3 5.1 using popcorn mkv audioconverter. what shall be the bitrate for the AC3? shall i just remain at 192kbps or shall i raise to 384kbps. the reason i'm saying 384 is because i've found out that many other mkv uses AC3 384kbps but AAC uses ~192kbps. will the quality be the same for these 2? (sth like WMA 64kbps has same quality as MP3 128kbps) or the quality will drop after conversion if maintain at 192kbps AC3?

my goal is to maintain same quality yet compatible with all media players as well as AVR that support AC3.
