About XviD to AMR Conversion
XviD is the open-source MPEG-4 Part 2 codec that scene release groups used to encode DVD rips into 700 MB AVI files throughout the 2000s. The name — DivX spelled backwards — reflects its origin as a community-driven alternative to the proprietary DivX codec. XviD files typically contain full-bandwidth MP3 audio designed for desktop playback through computer speakers or home theater systems.
AMR (Adaptive Multi-Rate) is the voice codec behind GSM cellular calls, operating at a fixed 8 kHz sample rate with bitrates from 4.75 to 12.2 kbps. Converting XviD to AMR aggressively compresses the audio down to telephony-grade quality, producing extremely compact files suitable only for speech content on cellular devices and legacy voicemail systems.
Why Convert XviD to AMR?
AMR serves a single purpose: ultra-compact voice encoding for cellular and telephony systems. XviD files containing spoken content — lectures, interviews, conference recordings — can be reduced to tiny AMR files for distribution on feature phones or integration into mobile voicemail and IVR systems.
The conversion is extreme: AMR at 12.2 kbps is roughly 10x more compressed than MP3 at 128 kbps, and the 8 kHz sample rate captures only voice frequencies (300-3400 Hz). Music, sound effects, and environmental audio are effectively destroyed. This makes AMR appropriate only when the spoken word is the sole content of value and extreme file size reduction is essential.
Common Use Cases
- Extracting spoken dialogue from XviD lecture recordings for ultra-compact mobile distribution
- Creating voice memo files from XviD interview recordings for feature phone playback
- Preparing XviD conference audio for integration into cellular voicemail or IVR systems
- Shrinking XviD recording audio to fit on devices with extremely limited storage (under 32 MB)
- Converting XviD training narration to AMR for distribution via MMS on basic cellular plans
How It Works
FFmpeg extracts the audio stream from the XviD AVI container (typically MP3 at 128-192 kbps), decodes it to PCM, resamples from the original 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz down to 8 kHz, downmixes stereo to mono, and re-encodes using the AMR-NB (Narrowband) codec via libopencore-amrnb. The output is a raw AMR file with its characteristic "#!AMR\n" header. All frequency content above 3400 Hz is permanently discarded by the 8 kHz resampling.
Quality & Performance
AMR encoding reduces audio to telephone quality. From XviD's typical MP3 at 128-192 kbps (full 20 Hz-16 kHz bandwidth), AMR at 12.2 kbps captures only the 300-3400 Hz voice band at a single channel. Music, sound effects, and background audio are severely degraded or eliminated. This is suitable only for clear speech in quiet recordings — anything else sounds noticeably poor.

Tips for Best Results
- 1Only use AMR for speech-only content — the codec is telephony-grade and destroys music and complex audio
- 2Choose 12.2 kbps (the highest AMR-NB bitrate) for the best possible voice clarity within AMR's constraints
- 3Test a short segment first to verify the speech is intelligible after the aggressive compression
- 4Keep the original XviD file as a master — AMR's quality loss is permanent and irreversible
- 5For better voice quality on modern devices, consider OGG at 32-48 kbps instead of AMR
XviD to AMR conversion is a specialized operation that extracts voice content from open-source era video files at extreme compression ratios, trading all audio fidelity for the smallest possible voice files compatible with cellular telephony systems.
