AVI to MP4

avi files (Audio Video Interleave) are so-called container formats for audio, video and text content. The AVI format was developed by Windows in 1992 to play audiovisual data on the operating system and originally served as an extension of the Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF).

Today AVI files are mainly used to display videos in standard resolution on the PC. For example, the .divx files of the DivX video software (versions 3 to 6) are based on AVI containers. Devices on which this software is installed can therefore play the corresponding content. Numerous other multimedia programs as well as many DVD players now process the AVI format. However, since the individual texts, videos and audio tracks can be encrypted differently, problems sometimes arise during playback. For example, there is no standardized aspect ratio in AVI, so there may be shifts in playback. In addition, displaying subtitles in AVI format is not very good. Subtitle images cannot be output.

For this reason, it can make sense to convert files from AVI to mp4. MP4 files can also include multimedia content: in addition to audio, video and text, subtitles, 2D and 3D graphics can also be saved. Another advantage: In contrast to AVI, the MP4 format is iso / IEC 14496-12 and -14 certified by the mpeg (Moving Picture Experts Group) and has been the standard for MPEG-4 files since then. It should always be noted when using both formats: Since MP4 and AVI are both container formats, the .mp4 file extension does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the content, just like the .avi file extension.
