AMV / MTV directshow encoder?

[Nick [D]vB]

You can now get a 1Gb MP4/S1 MP3 player for as little as £20, because of this there are lots of people buying them to watch video but due to DSP limitations the only supported formats are AMV / MTV.

I get OK results with the included convertion tool but it could be faster and I get nasty interlacing artifacts, because there is no codec selection I have to use radlight manager to try to force it to use certain combinations.

Does anyone know of any other AMV / MTV tools or a directshow encoder?

I searched Doom9 and was very surprised to find nothing about AMV at all!

If anyone wants to help develop an encoder I know many people are looking for a better solution.

Thanks for your reply but that XVID guide has nothing to do with the AMV format for MP3 players,

just to make things more complicated AMV also standards for Animated Music Video and these can be any format

[but normally created in Xvid / DivX] there are many asian anime websites about this.


I already have a newer version of AMV converter you found,

it is included with the MP3 players driver CD and is also on the many websites.

I am looking for a third-party converter, if you find one please let me know.

Cheers,
