The AMR audio codec supports various bit rates ranging from 4.75 to 12.2 kbit/s with toll quality speech starting at 7.4 kbit/s.
Set the number of audio channels. This setting is most useful when downmixing channels (e.g., from 5.1 to stereo).
Set the sample rate of the audio. Music with a full spectrum (20 Hz — 20 kHz) requires values not lower than 44.1 kHz to achieve transparency. More info can be found on the wiki.

xvid

Xvid is an open-source video codec that implements the MPEG-4 Part 2 Advanced Simple Profile standard, developed and maintained by volunteer programmers under the GNU GPL license. The project originated in 2001 as a fork of the OpenDivX codebase after DivX, Inc. closed the source of their codec, and the original name is DivX spelled backwards as a nod to this history. Xvid achieved widespread adoption in the early-to-mid 2000s as a free alternative to the commercial DivX codec, offering comparable or sometimes superior compression quality without any licensing costs. The codec excels at compressing full-length video into remarkably small files while preserving good visual quality, using techniques such as adaptive quantization, quarter-pixel motion compensation, global and local motion estimation, and custom quantization matrices. Xvid-encoded video is typically stored in AVI containers, though it can also be wrapped in MKV, MP4, and other formats. The codec gained certification for playback on many standalone DVD players and media devices that supported DivX playback, since both codecs share the underlying MPEG-4 ASP standard. Cross-platform availability covering Windows, Linux, macOS, and other operating systems, combined with a completely free and open-source nature, made Xvid a cornerstone of community-driven video encoding. While H.264 and newer codecs have largely replaced MPEG-4 ASP for new encoding, Xvid remains in use for compatibility with older hardware and in legacy media collections.

amr

AMR (Adaptive Multi-Rate) is a compressed audio format optimized for speech, standardized by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute and adopted as a mandatory codec for GSM and 3G mobile networks. The codec dynamically switches between eight bit rates — from 4.75 to 12.2 kbps — depending on network conditions and background noise levels. When link quality drops, the encoder shifts to a lower rate, trading marginal clarity for transmission reliability. This adaptive mechanism is defined by the 3GPP specifications and represents one of the most widely deployed voice codecs globally, used in billions of mobile calls. The primary advantage is compression efficiency: one minute of AMR audio at 12.2 kbps occupies roughly 90 KB, practical for voice memos, voicemail, and MMS on bandwidth-constrained networks. Another benefit is built-in voice activity detection and comfort noise generation, reducing transmission during silence. While AMR is unsuitable for music due to its narrow bandwidth (300-3400 Hz), it excels at delivering intelligible speech under challenging network conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert XVID to AMR?

XVID, an older open-source MPEG-4 codec, can be hard to play across platforms. Switching to AMR gives you the mobile voice recording standard.

How do I open an AMR file?

Open AMR with VLC, QuickTime, or mobile voice recording apps. Most handle the format without any extra plugins or codecs.

Does converting XVID to AMR keep only the audio?

Yes — when you convert a video format to AMR, the converter extracts the audio track and discards the video stream entirely.

Does the conversion work on mobile?

It does. Convertio.tools works in any modern mobile browser — upload your XVID, convert to AMR, and download directly on your phone.

Can I adjust the output bitrate?

Yes — set the desired bitrate before converting. Lower bitrates produce smaller files, while higher bitrates preserve more audio detail.
