What is a(n) AMC file?
The AMC (AMC Video Format) file format is an open encoding file format specifically designed for storing and playing multi-part media content. This type of media may include movies, TV shows, audio tracks, etc. The content of AMC files is encoded using the Advanced Multimedia Codec (AMC) compression algorithm, making them much smaller than traditional video file formats.
In addition to being smaller in size, AMC files are also easier to access and use than other video file formats. They can be played on any platform that can decode the AMC codec, enabling users to easily transfer and view their media content. Moreover, since the AMC format is open source, this allows additional software developers to create tools for editing, viewing, converting and streaming AMC files.
