NOTE: AMV is another acronym that means Anime Music Videos. This post is not about anime videos but is about the AMV video format that most Asian MP4 players use. If your MP4/MP3 player is made in China, Taiwan, or any other Asian related country (not sure about Japan), chances are it usually plays video that must be in AMV format.

AMV (also known as MTV) is a proprietary video file format, produced for use in Chinese MP3/MP4/MTV Players, particularly the S1 MP3 Players. Note that despite the word “MP4″ in the marketing description of several such players, this is not an MP4 or Moving Picture Experts Group file format. [wiki]

The reason I posted this is because I encounter a lot of people looking (I was one back then) for AMV converters. I got the software after I bought a Taiwan (?) made MP4/MP3 player. It doesn’t play the standard MP4 video format, but it plays AMV videos.

You can download the AMV converter at the following sources:
Rapidshare.com
