I know some users are making backups for PC based playback, and thus the AVCHD standard may not be as important to them. Seems software players will play back almost anything. 
What is important is for the user to consider the ultimate playback device and the potential compatibility of the backup for future use. Then the decision for the type of audio to keep will have more relevance!  |
You're absolutely right. A full backup to DVD+-R is a little different. It depends on the player. If the source uses no BD-J, then (for the most part) the output can become AVCHD compliant. In that case it's almost always better to convert to AC3. Frankly I believe you should always do it anyway, since it is more efficient and the difference can't be detected anyway (at 640Kbs).
