samuel,

there is not _the_ amber file format. what type(s) of file format
are you specifically looking for and for what purpose?

VMD generally only loads a subset of the information (only what is
needed for visualization) and thus every conversation is limited to this
subset, and whether a write method has been implemented into the
corresponding plugin. for coordinate file formats, the chances are high,
for topology/parameter files close to zero.

cheers,
   axel.
