Extract Multiple Audio Tracks from video

Can you help me??? I have a wedding video that has been recorded on camera using the camera's microphone as well as a separate audio microphone, thus giving two audio channels on the tape. Am I able to split these down in imovie 08? I understand how I can extract the main audio (which seems a little pointless)but I am not sure if IMovie 08 recognizes both audio channels. If not I may have to learn Final Cut Express quickly!!!



Thanks in advance

Macbookpro, Mac OS X (10.5.1)

iMovie '08 will allow you to "pin" multiple audio clips to video clips or a single audio clip to the background if they are in a supported audio compression format. Your main problem may be properly synchronizing it with the video. As to audio embedded in the video, it will probably be handled as a single stereo track rather than two individual tracks. You can of course, always extract individual channels using QT Pro.

Can I ask what QT Pro is?

Basically it is the QT Player application with the editing features "unlocked" for use. Apple charges about $30 for a code the will "unlock" a number of features (export of content, adding of tracks with or without scaling to other tracks or selected segments, the manipulating/setting of QT "properties" to include layering of audio and video, dimension scaling & placement of video content for display within the player display area, setting of audio channels, extraction/deletion of individual tracks, etc.). The features are very handy for "light" editing, creations of certain effects, conversion of content, and such. Some users would never have a need for it, others find it indispensable.
Here is a link that may give you some idea as to what it can do: QT PRO VIDEO TUTORIALS
