Sorry I missed the reply to this question earlier.
So in the Quicktime specs, for audio data there is a reference to the
4cc's:
'twos' for 16 bit two's complement big endian
'sowt' for 16 bit two's complement little endian
'in24' for 24 bit integer format
among others.
Elsewhere we have seen reference to the 'lpcm' format, which we
assume is what is used for
24 bit two's complement uncompressed audio data (big endian), not 1
of the above mentioned formats.
Is this a correct assumption?
Thanks a lot
Tommy Schell

So, I think we are understanding your question, and yes, core audio's
audio converter supports 24 bit (what we call signed) int formats:
We do support 8-bit (signed and unsigned), 16-, 24- and 32-bit
(signed) integer formats. (if not packed, high-aligned only)
For this the 24bit format is supported both as packed and as high-
aligned within a 32bit word

Hi,
I posted this question on the Quicktime list, but perhaps it is
more appropriate here.
Does support exist for 24 bit two's complement audio in Quicktime
files?
I found that 16 bit support is available for two's complement,
but I can't find it for 24
(or even extended to 32 bit) two's complement.
Can you please advise, and if it does not exist what might you
recommend to convert the two's complement
to a supported audio format in 24 bit?
Thanks a lot,
Tommy Schell
