Support for extracting AIFC audio
First off, thanks for such a great package!
I am trying to extract embedded audio from an AAF generated by Avid Media Composer. There is support for that in this package but it turns out I need AIFC not PCM audio. I looked at export_audio in mobs.py and tried to add support for the AIFCDescriptor but didn't have much luck. I took a simple approach and added code to export_audio to identify AIFDescriptors and then write out an aifc file. I ran into two problems:
- I wasn't able to get channels, sample_rate, sample_size from the AIFCDescriptoor like you can with a PCMDescriptor.
- When I plugged in what I believe to be correct values for those and wrote out an AIFC using the same stream writing code as the PCM, I ended up with static
If someone could point me in the correct direction that would be much appreciated.
Do you have any sample code/aaf you could share? You could convert the extracted wav file with ffmpeg, it should be able to do it lossesly.
