Description | 🔵 .avi (Audio Video Interleave) The .avi format is a multimedia container format introduced by Microsoft as part of its Video for Windows technology. AVI files can contain both audio and video data in a file container that allows synchronous audio-with-video playback. While it supports various codecs for compressing video and audio data, the format has limitations like a lack of standardized aspect ratio and frame rate information. It's been largely superseded by more advanced formats like MPEG and MP, but is still used for its simplicity and wide compatibility with various media players and devices. |
Technical details | 🔵 The `.avi` (Audio Video Interleave) format, created by Microsoft in 1992, is a multimedia container that synchronizes audio and video playback. It can house different codec combinations, which influence the video's quality and size. Typically, AVI files contain one audio and one video stream, and they depend on external codecs for compression, supporting both lossy and lossless types. This leads to variable file quality and sizes, usually larger than more efficiently compressed formats like MPEG or MOV. AVI's compatibility depends on the specific codecs used, which might not be pre-installed on all systems, potentially causing playback issues. The format has limited metadata capabilities and lacks support for Digital Rights Management (DRM), reducing its suitability for commercial use. Designed before the era of internet streaming, AVI is less apt for online use compared to formats like MP4. Its larger file size and limited features have contributed to its decline, with newer formats like MP4 and MKV becoming preferred for their efficiency and advanced capabilities. |

The OGG extension was developed to replace proprietary audio formats like mp3, VQF and AAC. They are compressed to a smaller size than mp3, which means less bandwidth and storage requirements. OGG files also offer better sound quality than mp3 files of the same size. Most players, such as VLC and Windows Media Player, can open and play OGG files. |

Some programs also don’t allow saving in OGG so you might need to convert back to OGG once you are done working on the audio file. There are many advantages to OGG. Their smaller size means you need less storage space and bandwidth when streaming. Reports have also shown that OGG files offer better sound quality than MP3 files of the same size.
