Many thanks, that does the trick although a little convoluted for what seems like it should be a straightforward task. Thanks for you help.

The latest version of ClipWrap (v2.3 I think) which was released yesterday has the multi-channel audio fix built in to the application.

Yes, I think I have now resolved my problem. I have been testing ClipWrap and when my AVCHD files are rewrapped FCPX reports that my clips are 5.1 audio channels, but only two channels (FL and FR) are active. So I emailed support @ the ClipWrap developers and they sent my a little utility which forces ClipWrap to rewrap using multichannel audio. This seems to work a treat. I can now see that all 5.1 channels recorded by my TM900 camcorder are active. It adds a step in to my workflow, but at least I can use the audio as recorded by the camera. Hopefully Apple will address this in a future revision of FCPX so files imported directly from the TM900 will include full multichannel audio.

Still failing to get 5.1 audio from my Panasonic TM900 in to FCP X. No matter what I try only two audio channels are active when the video is imported in to FCP X. Is anyone else with this camcorder getting 5.1 audio when they import the files?

Matt, my understanding is that the camera records the AVCHD and 1080p50 formats with 5.1 audio, and the iFrame format with 2-channel audio. The clips I’ve imported have either been AVCHD or 1080p50, which is why I was expecting to see 5.1 audio.
Very happy to let you have a sample clip. What format would you like, and what’s the best way to get it too you?

Noah, I’m reasonably sure that the camera recorded 5.1 channels (although wouldn’t bet my life on it). As far as I can tell the camera records all AVCHD clips with 5.1 audio, and when I look at the clips using VLC it says the audio stream is AC3 (which I think is 5.1 surround?).
Why wouldn’t I want to record 5.1 with the camera?
