What is a AMV file?
AMV is a proprietary video file format used by certain Chinese-made portable media players. It features heavy compression and low resolution, designed to work on devices with limited storage and processing power.
Although considered outdated, AMV files can still be viewed and converted with special players or tools. They were once popular for budget-friendly MP4 players and handheld video devices.
How to open AMV files
AMV files can be played using AMV Player, VLC, or converted with specialized AMV converters. They are usually found on inexpensive MP3/MP4 players.
Use AnyConv to convert AMV to more common formats like MP4 for improved playback and compatibility.
