The .mtv filename extension is the second filename extension that refers to the proprietary video file format container AMV. AMV is a video container modified from the AVI video format and is primarily associated with video enabled Chinese portable MP4 players. Video stream files with either the .amv or .mtv filename extension can be played back on these devices. To maintain a relatively low cost, these MP4/MTV players rely on this video format and inexpensive hardware rather than more common but expensive proprietary video playback formats.
The .ICO filename extension refers to the ICON image file format originally developed by Microsoft. The extension is used to represent computer icon images of varying sizes designed for the operating system Microsoft Windows. Its use today has extended to developing icons for programs designed using the Microsoft developer's suite Visual Studio and other applications. Similar to other device independent bitmap file formats, the ICON file format is also in the raster graphics class of image formats where each individual pixel is part of an orthogonal dot matrix data structure with support for a limited palette of color information. As a resource file, the .ico file format has its strength in contextual use. This allows for multiple icon images of different color depth or size to be stored within the resource file and used when appropriate.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for MTV to ICO conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload MTV files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized ICO 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 ICO audio with dependable progress tracking.
The MTV format consists of a 512 byte header block. This is followed by audio and image blocks in an alternating sequence. Each image block in the format represents an entire image frame. During playback, audio frames are parsed through an MP3 decoder whilst the video stream is decoded as complete still images. Image frame data is not compressed and as such utilizes the bulk of the available memory storage on the device. The mtv format is inherently a low image resolution / low frame rate format with a maximum 16 bit uncompressed color depth.
Each .ico file begins with an icon directory specifying the number of images, color depth, and size. Through its history, ICON file formats have come from containing images at a resolution from 32x32 in monochrome, to containing images up to 256x256 in resolution with up to 16.7 million colors.
