AMVs are a relatively new format for video files introduced with the Actions chipsets. Actions chipset are very common and they are found in cheap portable multimedia players (chipods). The international market has been assaulted by these devices which are very good because of the price and the features they have.

Usually, in the packages they come with there is a CD which contains a multimedia converter. However, the application works only on Windows(R) based systems and it´s very slow. Therefore, the people at AMV-Codec-Tools have managed to create a muxer/demuxer for FFmpeg that is extremely fast and versatile.

BAMVC uses the patched FFmpeg to deliver you a free and solid alternative to the standard conversion software. Also, BAMVC runs on two major platforms, Windows(R) and Linux.
