The goal is to generate mono audio tracks with codec s16_le in the output file, independently of the audio track/channel layout of the input file. All that without dynamically creating the ffmpeg commandline. That is why i am trying to get this work without explicitly accessing input audio channels.

In my head, this should work:

ffmpeg -i F:\test.3gp -filter_complex "[0:v]copy[vid];[0:a]channelsplit[aud]" -map [vid] -map [aud] -c:a pcm_s16le f:\splitted.mxf

But it brings up this error when used together with .mxf muxer:

[mxf @ 000001d0f51a8800] there must be exactly one video stream and it must be the first one
Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?): Operation not permitted
Error initializing output stream 0:2 --
Conversion failed!

As we see in the Stream mapping: section, the video stream is mapped to output track 0:1 while i was under the impression that as i provided -map options it should be remapped to 0:0.

Any clue is welcome!
