How to convert AMV video files (Need AMV Converter)

What is AMV?
AMV is a proprietary video file format, produced for MP4 players, as well as S1 MP3 players with video playback. There are now two different MTV formats: the older one for the Actions chip, and a newer one for ALi's M5661 chip. This format for ALi one was ALIAVI.

How can I convert videos to the AMV file format to play on my MP4/MP3 Player?

I need a converter that can convert WMV, 3GP, MOV, VOB, MPG, ASF, FLV, AVI, RM, MP4, MKV to AMV

Re: How to convert AMV video files (Need AMV Converter)

You can try to convert videos to AMV with freeware command-line tool ffmpeg:

Code:

ffmpeg -i <input> -f amv -s <width>x<height> -r 16 -ac 1 -ar 22050 -qmin 3 -qmax 3 <output>

You need to use the following video resolutions for AMV files:

128×96
128x128
160x128 (160x120?)
208x176

See the user manual of your player to learn what video resolutions are supported by it.

Also make sure to use the video framerate of 16 fps and 22kHz mono sound.

Input file can be any video file supported by ffmpeg.
If output file has .amv extention, -f amv option can be omitted.

"-r 16" sets framerate to 16 fps (you can also try 12fps, 10fps).

"-ac 1" and "-ar 22050" set 22kHz mono sound.

"-qmin 3" and "-qmax 3" set quantizer to be equal to 3. This allows to get good quality and acceptable file size.

Sample:
Convert file.avi into file.amv with 160x128 video resolution:

Code:

ffmpeg -i file.avi -s 160x128 -r 16 -ac 1 -ar 22050 -qmin 3 -qmax 3 file.amv

That's because not so many people use cheap players that support AMV format. Besides these players usually come with an AMV Converter.
