Hi everybody. I’m rather inexperienced with Vegas scripting and I’m stuck at the moment.

I need to extract specific audio channels from video files and save them to wave files. I need to do this to a whole folder of video files. Does someone know a script or plug-in for Vegas that can do this? I only have video files, no Vegas project files that already include the videos.

I tried to write my own little script to achieve this in Vegas. So far I managed to add the files to the Vegas MediaPool and, for each file, add the video stream as an event in the video track. I also managed to add audio as an event to an audio track. However, my files have 8 audio channels and I would like to add them to 8 audio tracks in Vegas.

How can I choose the channel of the audio stream for each audio event? The thing I found so far that comes close is “ChannelRemapping” which lets me choose between mono and stereo and so on. But I didn’t find any way to choose the channel. (Manually in Vegas I do a right click on an audio event, go to the menu “Channels” and then I can choose from channel 1 to channel 8, channel 1/2 to channel 7/8 and there are also the options both, left only, right only, mono and so on which are disabled for me.)

Or is there may be an easier way to add media to the timeline with all the video and audio channels (like with drag and drop in Vegas)?

Thanks a lot for your help
