Well fact is that generalizations do hit somebody eventought you try to not direct them to specifically to anybody.

You started the situation upon yourself by coming in here claiming the title of encoding god when really your just another normal user and reliant on the real experts to make a GUI for you.
I´m far away any encoding god. I´m just trying to say that things are not easy as you might think. Firstly there is different kinds of trailers on apples site. They are not all encoded with same profile.

So from your original post being the "quality control freak" you should know basic things like each time you encode a lossy format that you lose quality and since you have these "standards" you wouldnt be doing that.
Hmm. Only reason I´have messed with some trailers audio was that:
- Just copying aac didnt work
- Trancoding aac to aac with handbrake broken downmixing (speak was coming from left channel only)
- demuxed with mplayer but noticed that explosions were clipping/distorted ( noticed only when listen on high volume)
- and after finding some Mplayers settings about downmixing i found that downmixer seems to use correct algorithm when combaining all surround channels and there was no clipping.

Why do I need to know downmixing is broken with Handbrake? I dont use it. I compile my own custom x264 binary for 64bit encoding its 20% faster than the x86 binaries you can download and I run all the other tools directly from the command line so I can keep the leading edge on all the binaries with any dependency on a GUI.

MP4Box.exe
NeroAACEnc.exe
x264.exe
avisynth
Mkvmerge.exe

Thats most of what I use, hardly ever do I need something else.
Useful tools. So we can iterate optimal settings here.

I like GUI's its a great way to start and to learn, but once you get past that you start to do things yourself and learn a lot more.
This is true. No hard feelings but posts before you where some people also said that they do not understand and wondered why would someone encode with highest quality already made me little pissed.

Hmmm. And i´m quite sure that hydrogenaudio forum has some other toughts about aac goodness. But transcoding is generally bad that i agree.
