    Does anybody know some Windows tool (free, if it possible) which can convert 6 channelAC3 file (5.1 mix) into 6 channel AIFF file?

    Anything I tried convert only to 2 channel AIFF

    Thanks in advance!

    you can do it with ffmpeg

    e.g
    ffmpeg -i input.ac3 -acodec pcm_s16be -f aiff output.aiff

    note: "be" is for big endian , you can use "le" for little endian, but "be" is used more often with aiff

    Just tried - and getting error "Unknown encoder 'pcm_s16le'"

    Am I missing some codec for this?

    do you have a current FFmpeg binary ? I tried both be and le, both work . Most things "Mac/Apple" related (including AIFF) use big endian

    -acodec pcm_s16be
    -acodec pcm_s16le
