How to convert iTunes videos with 5.1 audio track (AC3 Audio Track) preserved?

Dolby Digital, AC3 Audio and 5.1 Audio

Dolby Digital, or AC3 Audio is the common version of Dolby Digital technology containing up to six discrete channels of sound. The most elaborate mode in common use involves five channels for normal-range speakers (20 Hz – 20,000 Hz) (right, center, left, right surround, left surround) and one channel (20 Hz – 120 Hz allotted audio) for the subwoofer driven low-frequency effects. Mono and stereo modes are also supported.

The above mentioned five full bandwidth channels and one low-frequency effects channel (the "point one") make up 5.1 audio, which is the most popular audio system in commercial cinemas and home theaters. Dolby Digital, SDDS, DTS, and Pro Logic II all use 5.1 audio system. Besides, 5.1 is also the standard surround sound audio component of digital broadcast and music.
