How to convert AMV to RM
To convert AMV to RM, upload your AMV file, choose RM as the output format and press Convert. The finished RM file is ready to save to your phone or computer in seconds, free, with no watermark and no sign-up. Your file is deleted from our server about 30 minutes after the conversion.
This free online converter turns AMV videos into RM files in your browser, with no software to install and no watermark. When the video and audio inside your AMV file can be placed in RM as they are, the streams are copied without re-encoding, which is faster and keeps the original quality. Otherwise the video is re-encoded as RealVideo 1.0 (up to 480p) with AC-3 audio.
What you get with AMV to RM
- Tiny files for slow connections
- Plays in RealPlayer and VLC
- Historic format useful for old archives
- Plays on: RealPlayer, VLC and MPC-HC
What to expect from this conversion
- Expect a file of similar size to the AMV original.
- The only RealVideo encoder available is RealVideo 1.0, so RM output is limited to 480p and sizes that are a multiple of 16 pixels.
- AMV files are tiny, so the result keeps the same low resolution. Converting does not add detail.
- The first audio track is kept. Subtitle tracks, extra audio tracks and chapters are not included in the converted file.
