File Description | The most widely used multimedia container format and file type that developed by Microsoft. Like ASF, AVI files store video data that may be encoded in a variety of codecs, but in most cases, AVI uses less compression than similar formats such as MPEG and MOV. That's why AVI files usually have large file size. AVI files can be played by most video players as long as the video player supports the codecs and the codecs exists on your system. To fix the playback issues, you are suggested to install one of those popular codec packs like K-lite Codec Pack or Combined Community Codec Pack. |
