Hi Shaun!
Its AAC and yet another encoder technol. in the
world to make
your audio files smaller, while still sounding as
it should.
This one has nothing to do with how multichannel
audio is
processed in DVD streams.
out more on apple's contribution to lossless audio
compression,
if you are interested.
I don't know the details, I just discovered that
when using AAC
in i-Tunes I wasn't missing as much of the sound as
when
using MP3 even in highest quality setting. But then
again
its all based on perception and dus deception of
the brain.

i-Tunes
i
thought acc was one of the surround sound formats on dvd's and the like? that
allows for 5 channels (or more probably) whereas your standard mp3 format is a
single stere channel
i'm
probably wrong tho
