Format description
BMP files, also known as bitmap image files, are uncompressed raster images. They contain a file header with a bitmap identifier, width, height and color settings among other information, as well as bitmap pixels with different colors.Because of the lack of any compression, BMP files often have a relatively large file size. Therefore, it may be beneficial to convert such images to newer, better-optimized formats like WebP and AVIF.

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.
