What is AMR file?
The .AMR file extension is associated with the Adaptive Multi-Rate Codec (or AMR) audio file format. The format was developed by the mobile telecommunications industry and is now widely used in both cellular networks and Voice over IP (VoIP) applications. As its name implies, AMR is a multi-rate codec that utilizes a technique known as channel-dependent algorithmic switching to enable variable bit rates from 4.75 up to 12.2 kbps.

What is MPEG file?
MPEG .mpeg is a file format used by MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 digital video compression standards. In both standards, the MPEG file is a collection of frames of computerized audio and video encoded for low-bandwidth transmission over digital networks. Each frame consists of several discrete elements combined together to form the entire frame's compressed data. In MPEG-1, these elements include motion vectors, I/P frames, B frames and more.

Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from AMR to MPEG?
To successfully convert the AMR file to MPEG, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.AMR). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case MPEG (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than MPEG).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. AMR to MPEG. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting AMR files to MPEG files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension MPEG, while before this step we had the AMR file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new MPEG file, or not.
