[FFmpeg-user] Unable to create movs with multi-channel tracks with discrete channel layout

[Robert Krüger]

Hi,

I would like to create a file that has a "discrete" channel layout, e.g.
have an audio track with 8 channels that are not automatically set to 7.1
surround. Is that possible with the command line? My attempts so far have
been that the files are then created with 7.1 channel layout (checked using
Quicktime 7 which displays the assignment of each channel and compared that
to files created by cameras or other software (e.g. Adobe Media Encoder)
that have this property.

Thanks,

Robert
