What is AMV format?
AMV is a proprietary video file format, produced for MP4 players, as well as S1 MP3 players with video playback. The container is a modified version of AVI. The video format is a variant of Motion JPEG, with fixed rather than variable quantisation tables. The audio format is a variant of IMA ADPCM, where the first 8 bytes of each frame are origin (16 bits), index (16 bits) and number of encoded 16-bit samples (32 bits); all known AMV files run sound at 22050 samples/second. AMV format has been provided with high compression ratio and high picture quality. It makes it possible for users to finish watching a movie from beginning to end with a MP3 player which has only 256MB storage capacity.
