.AMV File

What is an .AMV file extension?

AMV stands for Actions Media Video. It is a proprietary video file format that was developed for use with Chinese MP4 and MP3 players with video playback. AMV files are typically compressed to a low resolution, around 160x120 pixels, in order to fit on the small screens of these devices.

AMV files are container files, which means that they can contain both video and audio data. The video format used in AMV files is a variant of Motion JPEG, while the audio format is a variant of IMA ADPCM.

AMV files are not as common as they once were, but they are still used by some people, especially in China. If you have an AMV file, you can play it on your computer using a variety of media players, such as VLC Media Player and Windows Media Player. You can also convert AMV files to other formats, such as MP4 and AVI, using a video converter.

Here are some of the pros and cons of using AMV files:

Pros:

• AMV files are highly compressed, which makes them ideal for storing on portable devices with limited storage space.
• AMV files are supported by a wide range of Chinese MP4 and MP3 players with video playback.

Cons:

• AMV files are typically compressed to a low resolution, which can result in poor video quality.
• AMV files are not as common as other video formats, such as MP4 and AVI, so it may be difficult to find compatible media players and video converters.

Overall, AMV files are a good option for storing and playing videos on portable devices with limited storage space. However, if you are looking for the best possible video quality, you may want to consider using a different video format.
