AAC Re-encode Question

Sorry for the newb question.
I transcode a lot of .mp4s with AAC audio due to subtitles. I was wondering if re-encoding a lossy AAC track into AC-3 results in more loss of information (more lossy, I guess)?
Thanks.

If the bitrate of the AC-3 is 640kbps there shouldn't be any real loss. Technically there is loss but you can't hear it.

Thanks, SubJunk.
And thanks for UMS! It's now a rare file that doesn't play for me. I've banished the transcode folder.

That's excellent news, thanks! Got another release I'm building now which will improve file support even more

I'm looking forward to 2.3.0 and trying subtitles with FFmpeg.

We're aiming for putting FFmpeg external subtitle support in 2.4.0

I see that the FFmpeg/subtitles commit is back. Can't wait to try this out!
