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.
RealNetworks, an internet streaming Media Company, is credited as the developers and owners of the proprietary RealMedia multimedia container format. The filename extension .rm refers to this format which is used as an audio and video wrapper to distribute digital media content over the internet. The first version of this container was released in 1997 and has been popularized for its ability to unpack the digital stream while it is being downloaded over computer networks such as the internet. The format is platform agnostic and works equally well on Microsoft Windows as it does on Linux or Mac OS.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for AMV to RM 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 RM 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 RM 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.
Unlike RealMedia variable bitrate format, the RealMedia container format encodes streaming media at a constant bitrate. .rm files use proprietary video and audio compression encoding formats from the RealVideo and RealAudio suite of compression formats. Video stream encoding was upon its initial release based upon the H.263 compression format.
