http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMV_video_format seems to point to amv 
being supported in ffmpeg. (it seems amv is an mp4 variant, so they are 
only slightly missleading about the mp4 support)

and http://code.google.com/p/amv-codec-tools/wiki/HowToConvertToAMV 
seems to supply how to use ffmpeg to convert.

So I tried what is in the f16 repo and it did not work:

Requested output format 'amv' is not a suitable output format

So I may be stuck using their Windoz tool.  Wonder if it will run under 
Wine?
