Format description

MPG is a video format by the Moving Picture Experts Group. MPG files typically use MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 as their codec.

You may wish to convert MPG videos to the relatively newer MP4 (MPEG-4) format, which is more widely supported and can incorporate more efficient codecs.

Mime type	video/x-amv

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.
