What is AVI?

AVI is one of the oldest video container formats, introduced by Microsoft in 1992. While largely superseded by MP4 for most purposes, AVI remains widely recognised and stored in archives. It can contain video encoded with various codecs (DivX, XviD, H.264) alongside audio tracks.

Common uses for AVI

  • Playing back legacy video files from older archives
  • Compatibility with older video editing software
  • Windows-native and industrial applications still using AVI
Note: AVI has poor support for modern codecs, does not support streaming, and generally produces larger files than MP4.

Compatibility: Supported by Windows Media Player, VLC, and most video players. Modern browsers do not support AVI natively.
