That way, I can just right-click any video file and then convert it to AMV. UPDATE: I then wrote a Nautilus Actions Configuration. Use ffmpeg-amv to convert the resultant WMV file to AMV formatįfmpeg-amv -i 'wmv-converted.wmv' -f amv -r 16 -ac 1 -ar 22050 -qmin 3 -qmax 3 converted.amv.Use your regular FFMPEG executable to convert your existing videos (be they FLVs or MP4s) to WMV.įfmpeg -i 'to-be-converted.mp4' -vcodec msmpeg4 -qscale 1 -r:v 16 -s 160x120 -acodec wmav2 wmv-converted.wmv.Compile and install FFMPEG as per the guide at.Here is how you convert any video file to AMV in Linux: Totem Media Player does not play AMV but not so with VLC. When I tried converting a WMV file with ffmpeg-amv, it produced a AMV video file that played both on Linux and the player without any issues. The video does not accept OGV or other new formats. Apparently, the guys who coded this tool seem to be all-Windows folk. I then decided to give ffmpeg-amv another attempt. Today, I tried several Windoze software but all the video files they generated gave a “Format Error” message. I installed that but the video that it generated was full of artifacts. There was a Google Code project titled “amv-codec-tools” that seemed to tailor-made for my requirement. On my Linux system, I have a custom-compiled ffmpeg installation that I thought covered everything. No video converter that I have in Linux and Windows supports this format.

It will play videos in only one format – AMV. Ordinary users will not like the player and should steer clear of this device. The touchscreen is resistive, not capacitative, but that exactly fits my needs. I bought the Zebronics Zebmate Cinema 1.8 player thinking that I was getting 8 GB space and video playing ability for Rs.

Sometime last year, I needed a tough portable media player that I could use with my electronic projects. Yes, really AMV format – the bane of many Chinese portable media players… Using Nautilus Actions Configuration, FFMEG, FFMPEG AMV Codec Tools
