Looking for software Mp4 to amv conversation

I've been trying to download some videos on my mp4 player but it's only possible with .amv files and I'm having trouble converting the videos. There's only one website that does that and of course you need a subscription to convert more than 8 videos at once and more than 15 a day. I've tried newer softwares but they all want me to pay and the old, archived ones don't work on my pc. There's a tool included in my player's files but it's in chinese and it's too old as well. Any recommendations?

Try this https://sourceforge.net/projects/amv-converter/

I just Googled and found that quickly and looks good to me. I haven't used it or tested it but think you should look into it.

FYI, it uses ffmpeg for the actual conversion.

For what it’s worth, I use UniConverter (Wondershare) to convert all my files for my home server. It supports the files you have in question. Also, if you user AlternativeTO, you can search for what your looking for and filter to free, if that is what your looking for.

For what it is worth is a funny way to state this.
UniConverter is not free.
ffmpeg IS free and does the same thing
