Maintaining Surround Sound

[jimmy101]

Hi there,

I have a ProRes file with 5.1 Surround Sound that I need to compress whilst keeping the surround sound. When I open the file in handbrake it only shows one track - 0: Unknown (pcm_s24le) (1.0ch), Codec: ACC (CoreAudio), Mixdown: Mono.
So I'm adding all the other tracks and end up with a total of 6, however whenever I preview the file it only plays one track at a time. Whereas in the source file it plays all of them. I've opened up the Selection Behaviour tab and had a play around but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to maintain the surround sound on the compressed file?

Thanks,

Could you please post your HB logs, instructions can be found here:

If ProRes is saving the file as 6 separate mono streams, handbrake can't mix them for you. You have to mix the tracks into one stream before handing it to handbrake.
