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 .mov multimedia format is a MPEG-4 video container commonly associated with Apple's QuickTime framework. It is the movie file format most commonly praised for bringing feature length in-color movies to the Macintosh with the initial release of QuickTime in 1991. This was before anything comparable was available for the personal computer and Microsoft Windows operating system. This movie format supports multiple sequences of data or tracks categorized into audio, video, effects, and text such as subtitles. A .mov file is considered a resource file. Thus it may or may not be final i.e. it may be self-contained where all video frames and or audio samples are within the file or it may refer to external sources such as other files or data streams using movie references.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for AMV to MOV conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload AMV files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized MOV 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 MOV 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.
As per the original specification by apple, QuickTime movie files, .mov files, are stored and encoded as binary data. The format supports both nonlinear interactive media as well as time based media. The format is highly extensible and is structured through a collection of atoms, not all of which are required to play the contents of the .mov file.
