Answering based on my educated guessing:
As above. Most players go by whatever the system is set to. If you have a Mac, you go into Audio MIDI Setup, and assign virtual number outputs to physical speakers for both stereo and multichannel arrangements. In the actual QT is the numbering order. Then the only other thing that can affect the playback is if the playing software can interpret things like channel assignments that you set in QT Pro. But QT Pro is maybe the only (?) software that understands its own metadata there, so even if you changed the assignments in QT Pro, loading back into say Avid would not reorder the channels from their original assignment (i.e. it would ignore whatever you told QT Pro was what channel and just lay them out in the order they were written in originally).
Is there any chance if I were to completely rename a sound track so that it no longer included the track number how would an ingest server or anything else no which track was track 1 etc...
There is only chance. Ingest just looks at the channels in the order they are in the QT and it's up to you to have put them in the right order to begin with.
When I ama into Avid the tracks show up in the proper order and I don't think that is based on the track name I see in QT Pro but some other metadata flag.
No metadata here other than what order they were passed into the MOV. You can not reorder them once they are in the QT without re-saving a new QT.
I see channel/track numbers in a mediainfo report and I figure it's those pieces of metadata that tell Avid's ama link which track is what but I'm just guessing here
Correct but this is not any metadata per se but simply the order they went into the file as it was being written. Put them in SMPTE order, they will be in SMPTE order.
Can anyone shed some light on how the track numbers/channels are handled under the QT hood?
