Re: multiple audio channels represented in a single track

But the audio layout in the QuickTime track must be interleaved, of course:

sample 0 channel 0
sample 0 channel 1
sample 0 channel 2
sample 0 channel 3
sample 0 channel 4
sample 0 channel 5
sample 0 channel 6
sample 0 channel 7
sample 0 channel 8
sample 1 channel 0
sample 1 channel 1
sample 1 channel 2
sample 1 channel 3
sample 1 channel 4
sample 1 channel 5
sample 1 channel 6
sample 1 channel 7
sample 1 channel 8

etc....

You can also add an AudioChannelLayout as a SoundDescription extension.

Yes it possible, and permissible.

There, in fact, is no real limit to the number of channels that can be represented in a single QuickTime movie track (if you use SoundDescriptionV2).

Hi,

Is it possible to have multiple audio channels in a single track, with the individual samples interleaved,
in a Quicktime file?
In other words, can the SoundDescriptionV2 numAudioChannels field be set to greater than 1 (up to 8) ?


So the data would be organized frame by frame together in the Quicktime file:

(for example, 8 channel audio)
a single channel 1 sample, followed by
a single channel 2 sample, followed by
a single channel 3 sample, followed by
a single channel 4 sample, followed by
a single channel 5 sample, followed by
a single channel 6 sample, followed by
a single channel 7 sample, followed by
a single channel 8 sample, followed by

the next channel 1 sample, followed by
the next channel 2 sample, etc

All the audio would then correspond to a single track in the Quicktime wrapper.

Is this permissible?

Thanks, Tommy Schell
