Format description
The AMV video format was developed for cheap portable media players, known as S1 MP3 players. Because these devices have very limited processing power due to the Actions chip they use, AMV videos have to be small and in very low quality. The maximum resolution is 208x176 px, while the framerate cannot exceed 16 fps.MConverter produces AMV videos with a resolution of 208x176 px and 10 fps to ensure good compatibility. Note that, due to the implementation of the player on some devices, they may require an even lower resolution or framerate.

Is converting AMVs safe with MConverter?
For cloud-based conversions, MConverter encrypts your AMV files using the latest technologies, such as TLS 1.3 and HSTS. They are transmitted securely to our cloud service provider’s EU-based data center, which holds internationally recognized ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certifications. There, each conversion is processed in a separate, isolated environment. This technique further reduces the risk of a malicious file impacting other conversions.
Four hours after the conversion is complete, your files are automatically deleted from MConverter’s systems. You can also permanently delete your AMVs and other converted files immediately after finishing the conversion with the trash icon.
When converting on-device, your files never leave your device. MConverter processes them locally. Note: on-device conversions are not yet available for some hardware-intensive formats.
For both cloud and on-device conversions, your files are never scanned or shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
