The mov muxer seems to do that by default for me though.
Hi Ted, Sorry, I have no clue what you mean here, could you please elaborate? > >> bouke@Boukes-iMac ~ % /Applications/ffmpeg -i /Volumes/Data/test/C0092.MP4 >> -i /Volumes/Data/test/068.WAV -map 0:0 -map 0:a -map_channel 0.1.1:0.1 -map >> 1:a -map_channel 1.0.8:0.2 -map 1:a -map_channel 1.0.9:0.3 -c:a pcm_s24le >> -c:v copy -shortest /Volumes/Data/test/last2muted.mov -y > > I think it would help to do the channel mapping first just to separate the > options > % ffmpeg -i /Volumes/Data/test/C0092.MP4 -i /Volumes/Data/test/068.WAV -map > 0:1 -map 1:0 -map 1:0 -map_channel 0.1.1:0.1 -map_channel 1.0.8:0.2 > -map_channel 1.0.9:0.3 -c:a pcm_s24le -map 0:0 -c:v copy -shortest > /Volumes/Data/test/last2muted.mov -y Nope, moving the does not make any difference.
