Whitty, as far as I can see, I think you're going to be out of luck. I had to search for AMV on the web as it is such an obscure format...and one that is definitely targetted at Windows. To save you a lot fo grief, my advice would be buy an iPod! None of the very advanced conversion programs that I have will convert to the forma that you need.

I am trying to stay away from Windows as it was grief for me when I had it and was too buggy with crashes etc is why I went to MAC... seems other people have same problem trying to get AMV files to work on mac apart from Windows users, looks like my old XP laptop may have to come out of the wardrobe again (

Not the answer you want either, apparently IPod has the same problem as well, I hear, the older version uses the AMV format as well. Dont know why all players cant keep it as industry standards all around....

The older version of iPods? That's simply not true sorry. The format (AMV) you discuss is exceptionally obscure...Apple have never used that format.

mm unless its a imitation IPod as there a few on trademe looks like a genuine IPod but its not, this industry is getting touchy with Real IPod and Generic IPods etc and file formats, mmm maybe I should kick my butt and pay extra to get a IPod (Genuine) and be done with it rather converting stuff all over the place etc, same with Cellphone allows to play movies on them is in AMV format as well some of them are.

There's a big difference between talking about an imation iPod and genuine ones.....you get what you pay for...and sorry, you paid for AMV.
