hello, I'm trying to replicate files made by avid/content agent (they seem to do the same thing)
when i open the as11 mxf files in quicktime (i have a plugin that works) i get the 4 channels of audio as being Left,Right,Left,Right which makes sense to me.
When I just rewrap them through bmxtranwrap the audio is now described as 'mono' for each track
is there any way to get these labels to be the same...do I even need to?
I'm just aiming for consistency with my company's accepted everyday delivery
cheers!

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
If the file is a AS-11 UK DPP HD file then I would guess the Left,Right,Left,Right information is derived from it being an AS-11 file, the audio tracks are numbered and the AS-11 DPP metadata item AudioTrackLayout is set to something that indicates stereo pairs. A simple rewrap won't preserve the AS-11 metadata and will write a vanilla OP-1A rather than AS-11. You need to use options such as "-t as11op1a", "--dm-file..." etc. to produce an AS-11 file. Use "mxf2raw --as11 <file>" to see the AS-11 metadata.</file>

aahhh got it
i used
bmxtranswrap -p -t as11op1a --pass-dm -o /path/to/output_audio_only.mxf --disable-video /path/to/input_as11.mxf
and that worked fine.
thanks very much!
