The AMV video file format is a proprietary video container which was created for Chinese made and video enabled S1 MP3 players and MP4 players. The goal of the format was to primarily lower the cost of hardware components and royalty fees required for video playback using other container formats on these video enabled devices. The .amv file type is a modified version of the more commonly known AVI multimedia container with the video codec being a version of motion JPEG (MJPEG) format.
The term DVD is not so much a format as it is a technology or mechanism for distributing digital content via optical media. DVD refers to digital versatile (video) disk, and the optical disk storage media which was invented through the collaborative efforts of several multinational companies including Sony and Philips. It was released in 1995 as the successor to the CD or compact disc which had lower storage capacities. DVD-Video on the other hand is a format, and was designed as the native consumer video format for distributing digital video content using DVD optical discs. The format was developed by the DVD forum and it entered the public domain in 1997. The specification for the format is not open and as of writing (2015) requires a licensing agreement in order to use it.

Upload AMV files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized DVD results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent DVD audio with dependable progress tracking.
An open source AMV encoder and decoder for windows exists but is not associated with the original developers of the format. The audio stream within AMV files is encoded using a variant of the Adaptive differential pulse-code modulation or ADPCM algorithm developed by the interactive multimedia association (IMA) but not in its strict form given the inclusion of an 8 byte seed at the start of every frame.
DVD-Video content can be encoded using the MPEG-2 Part 2 compressed or MPEG-1 Part 2 compressed video formats. Bitrates using the MPEG-2 Part 2 format can range from 3 Megabits per second to 9.5 Megabits per second. While bitrates using MPEG-1 Part 2 compression can reach 1.8 Megabits per second. Maximum pixel resolution on this format is 720p hence 1080p footage stored using this format will be down scaled to comply with the format. For resolutions greater than 720p one should consider the successor to the DVD-Video format ' Blue Ray Video.
