Bytessence MPxConverter
Bytessence MPxConverter is a simple user interface for AMV-Codec-Tools, a fork of
FFMpeg targeted at media conversion for chipods (cheap mp4 players, usually clones
of popular brands). It is based on the same code as the (discontinued) AMVConverter,
but it now is compatible with both Actions and Sunplus players. The program kept
features from its predecessor, mainly portable code, ease of use, speed and
multilingual interface while adding extended conversion support.
- Much faster conversion
- Smaller size
- Portable, does not use registry
- Multilingual, multiplatform
- Open-source code
Important note: The AMV muxer (the encoder used in FFMpeg) is in alpha stage! This means that the video quality may not be the best and there might be problems inside. If you prefer quality over speed for AMV videos then you should use the standard converter that came on the CD with your player. MPxConverter is just a simple user interface to help convert videos faster than using the classic converter. It wasn't created to compete with any other product. Any problems concerning issues other than this simple interface should be addressed here: AMV-Codec-Tools.
