- Description
- AMV (Actions Media Video) is a proprietary video file format, produced for MP4 players, as well as S1 MP3 players with video playback. There are two different versions of this format: an older one for Actions chips, and a newer one for ALi’s M5661 chip, sometimes called ALIAVI.
- The MPA file format, standing for MPEG-2 Audio File, is designed to store audio data compressed using the MPEG-2 Audio coding standard. This format is a successor to the MPEG-1 standard, offering enhancements like improved audio quality and support for multiple audio channels, thus enabling surround sound experiences. MPA files are commonly used for both music and video soundtracks due to their efficient compression, which preserves sound quality while reducing file size significantly.
