AMV Studio

If you ever had a portable player and did not have enough space to store your multimedia files, then this software may come as a solution to some of you. AMV Studio is one of the very few tools that allow users to convert video files into the AMV format that can later be used by MP3/video players.

After, you've finished installing it, operation that takes very little time and effort, you'll notice that AMV Studio is built to act more like an interface for the various modules integrated into the software, modules that can also be accessed independently. A video format converter, an AMV video player, and sound editor are included in the package.

Taking into account that the software is mainly built to encode files so that they can be played by portable media players, the AMV Studio Converter module is an important component of AMV Studio.

You will be happy to find out that you can convert a decent variety of formats with the help of this tool. AVI, MPEG, MPG, DAT, WMV, WMA, ASF, VOB along with a few other types of files can be previewed and converted from this window.

Once converted, the AMV Studio Video Player window automatically launches and runs your newly encoded AMV videos. Other AMV files that are already stored on your PC can also be loaded and viewed.

Sadly, the SoundEdit add-on included in the package does not work without a valid Premium license. Note that problems might arise if you want to run the modules you need directly from the AMV Studio interface. If this is the case then you should try to run each of the existing components separately to fix the problem.

Although the program's modules manage to do the job they have to, and convert the files you want for your portable multimedia players, the big disappointment comes from the AMV Studio program itself, as it can give you a lot of unwanted errors.
