AMV video format help needed

[jamespoo]

hi guys i just got given a mp4 player that only plays AMV format the mp4 player is 4gb

it converts video fine i can choose high medium or low and video looks great even at low but what i do not like is it converts audio to 352kbps even tho it says 88kbps is there a way i can change it?

bump

i did find MPxConverter that converts audio to 64kbps but video looks bad even when set to HQ

Just buy a player that doesn't need to have video re-converted.

...what was used...

Hi
Made two passes.

First pass...
Convert it with latest FFmpeg
from here ---> http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/

ffmpeg -i <input> -r 16 -vf "scale=208:trunc(ow/a/2)*2" -c:v amv -qmin 3 -qmax 3 -c:a pcm_s16le -ar 22050 -ac 1 temp.avi

Second pass...
Re-mux it with patched FFmpeg
from here ---> http://code.google.com/p/amv-codec-tools/downloads/detail?name=amv-ffmpeg-win32-act-20071106.zip

ffmpeg -i temp.avi -vcodec copy output.amv
