MXF with two audio tracks: only the first is available

[MrTheV]

Hello

I am new to VideoPad and I am trying to use MXF files as sources.

MXF files are Canon containers.

These MXF files have 2 audio tracks, and I want to keep only the second track but I seem to be able only to use the first audio track.

When I convert the files in such a way that only the second track audio is present, everything seems to be OK.

Is there a way to select the desired audio track from a multiple-audio-track source file in VideoPad?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

It's a known limitation that VideoPad does not import more then one audio tracks.

To solve the problem you will need another tool to extract the second audio track to a separated file.

See if this thread helps.

Thanks C_Major.

I recreated the MXF files with MediaCoder, in "Copy video/Copy audio" mode with only the needed audio track selected, so that I ended up with MXF files with a single audio track..

But if VP was able to open all the audio tracks, which ARE in the source file(s) and which it can open the first track, this would be even better...

Since it can open one audio track and it seems it can manage several audio tracks in a sequence (but I did not find out how to add another audio track yet), the functionalities seem to be already there, it would be much a matter of ergonomics that adding a new functionality per se.  

Thanks anyway

Thanks for the suggestion. We will consider that.
