Hi Larry,
I note that the original ProRes is L-R-C-LFE-Ls-Rs (SPMTE order), whereas the option for 5.1 compressed audio is L-C-R-Ls-Rs-LFE. Does Compressor assume that uncompressed audio is always SMPTE order and re-map them, or do you have to tell it re-map the tracks? Also, can you tell it to re-map the tracks if the original is in the wrong order?
Andrew:
Compressor does not allow remapping audio channels. That would require adjustment prior to exporting the master file.
