So, I have these .MOV files, which have audio stored in them as 8 separate PCM mono files, where the first six are the channels of the 5.1 audio mix and the last two are the channels of the stereo mix - is there a way to use FFMpeg or AEC3TO or some such with a script to make AAC 5.1 and AAC 2.0 audio mixes from those files?

Ideally, I’d like to have a .bat file, where I would change the input file name to moviexy.mov and when I run it, it spits out moviexy5.1mix.aac and moviexy2.0mix.ac3.

I know that the order of the channels in the files is as follows:

  1. Front Left
  2. Front Right
  3. Front Center
  4. LFE
  5. Rear Left
  6. Rear Right
  7. Stereo Left
  8. Stereo Right

So far, I figured out, I could pull each file into Premiere and map the channels there, but it seems like an unnecessarily time-consuming manual process, because I have quite a few of those files, so I’d really like to find a batch solution.
