Can this be turned off by any chance? I'm sure some users would like to leave the AC3 tracks completely untouched..
It will reencode by default. You can decide not to reencode by choosing to keep the original AC3. You do that by selecting "Do not reencode AC3" in the SETUP dialog.

Be careful, though, because deciding to keep anything other than standard AC3 at 640Kbs or below -- you are violating the AVCHD specification for movie-only reencodes.

In most cases the reencode is not distinguishable from the original.
