Yes you can tell I don't know a great deal about this :-)

We're trying to import a clip into our Avid system from a  Pinnacle system.  The Pinnacle system is a DV25 AVI video with 4 channels of audio.  The Avid system will only recognize two of the 4 audio clips when they are quicktime wrapped.  So yes I need to convert the 4 channel audio clip into 2 two-channel stereo tracks.

Thanks,
Mark

Unfortunately, QuickTIme does not currently demultiplex the other two channels of audio from the DV stream, it mixes the left and right channels together.  I believe there was a time when we couldn't reliably depend on all cameras delivering silence on the two unused frames in 12-bit streams, and things got stuck that way.  It's on our list to fix.

Hi Mark,

In a way, 4 channels of audio already are two stereo pairs, depending on what you plug them into... Can you give a bit more information about what you're trying to do?   E.g. Do you have a four-channel audio track, which you need to convert to two two-channel (stereo) tracks?  Or something else?  Are you looking to convert a movie from one format to another in non-realtime, or to output a 4-channel track to two separate stereo output devices as it plays?

QuickTime 7 supports multichannel audio across the board, for export and playback, so it should be possible to achieve what you need, once we know what it is :-)

Dave.
