I do not understand. AFAIK there is only one type of Amira format.  It
starts with a textual header, possibly followed by binary data.  And as
with all proprietary formats: there is no guarantee that _any_ Open Source
program will write it in a way that the commercial program will
understand.

FWIW the plugins referenced on ImageJ's plugins should work (there are two
different sets of Amira Reader/Writers).
