If you want to play your Blu-ray movies (either backed up on your hard disc as they are or directly from the discs) you don't need any conversions. Simply use powerdvd or another player and set audio output to hdmi.
If you want to back up your blu-rays as a different format (matroska .mkv) and play them from your htpc, you need to use eac3to.
If you just want to back up your blu-rays and also strip the extras from them (or unwanted audio streams) use tsmuxer (no audio conversions needed).
If you want to create movie back ups with blu-ray structure from whatever source also use tsmuxer (perhaps you need to do some audio conversions).

Got it. On the other words, in the mean time since software, PDVD8 is down streaming 24/48 and hardware, no HDMI 1.3 audio card available yet, I can use this conversion and make the BD TrueHD audio to different audio format and output it to our pre-amp via SPDIF.
