Convert AMV to MPEG

Understanding AMV and MPEG file formats

AMV (Anime Music Video) is a proprietary video file format commonly used in inexpensive Chinese MP4/MP3/MTV players. It is known for its low resolution and high compression, making it suitable for devices with limited processing power and storage. MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) refers to a family of widely used video and audio compression standards, such as MPEG-1 and MPEG-2, which offer better quality and compatibility with most media players and devices.

Why convert AMV to MPEG?
