I looked into this a while ago.. and also found nothing on the net at all relating to a video format AMTV.. I suspect its possibly chinese speak for either AMV format or an attempt to get buyers to think that the MTV format has been 'improved' to AMV levels... I have also checked with friends in the industry who have used MTV format and they haven't heard of anything official about improving it, but there are always rumours about super new ways of encoding. I have also been reminded that chinese speak for 4 gigs is UK speak for 1Gig and perhaps it is simply another example of bad translation?
The most obvious pointer to this being nothing more than 'talk' is that there are no convertors available that support any so called SMTV format.. so even if a retailer had a player boasting this format,,, I doubt anyone could convert a normal video to it.
