Videos in the AVI format have very high audio fidelity.
Initial audio or video information can be stored on playable discs and DVDs made with AVI files.
Short films, advertisements, and promotions can benefit greatly from the compression capabilities of the AVI format.
The AVI file format was created by Windows, and most Microsoft and non-Microsoft operating systems can play it.
AVI files can be opened with any type of hardware or software. Many users will be able to open videos distributed in AVI format thanks to this feature.
AVI ensures that you can use its master files to create a variety of file types by maintaining their high quality.
Compared to other video formats like MP4, MPEG, and MOV, the AVI video format compresses data less effectively.
Compared to AVI, MP4 is a lossy format with excellent compression capabilities and much less storage space usage.
Another significant benefit of MP4 over AVI is that it works with a wide range of devices, whereas AVI may need specific players to function.
In nearly every scenario, MP4 proves to be a more suitable format than AVI.
However, is AVI of better quality than MP4?
Another format for combining audio, video, subtitles, and images into a single file is MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14).
MP4 files are smaller and compatible with nearly all media players, but their video output quality is lower than that of AVI files, which are larger and may need to be compressed.
When evaluating the quality of AVI and MP4, keep in mind that they are both video wrappers.
MP4 employs the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec, whereas AVI is linked to the DivX codec.
Another distinction is that MP4 cannot produce an output file with a higher quality than AVI, which has the ability to store an alpha channel.
Several compression codecs can be used with MP4, which ensures higher performance efficiency with comparable quality compared to AVI.
Ultimately, there isn’t much of a difference between MP4 and AVI videos.
On the other hand, AVI offers marginally better video quality than MP4.
Now, let’s examine the drawbacks of AVI.
If AVI files are compressed with the help of a codec, the machine needs to have that codec installed in order to recover and play the compressed file. Even though installing a codec is a fairly easy process, many people may encounter difficulties when attempting to locate the codec from a trustworthy, safe source. The interruption in the user experience may not be satisfactory to users, even in cases where those sources are available.
AVI files can be substantially larger than other file formats if they are not compressed. For the advantages of the AVI file, you will have to give up disc space, meaning you won’t be able to store as many files.
When AVI files are compressed too much, the quality of the video is lost. Given that viewers of today are utilizing screens with HD, 4K, and Ultra HD capabilities, there may be less tolerance for this reduction in video quality.
Because there are so many different codecs available, you have to experiment to get the necessary quality and compression, even though good compression is achievable.
User interaction (such as click to continue pauses) is not supported by AVI.
Softsubs are not consistently supported by AVI. In this kind of subtitling, the video content and subtitle must be combined by the playback device while the media is playing.
