What is a .avi file?
AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is a legacy Microsoft multimedia container built on the RIFF structure that interleaves video and audio streams. It predates modern features, lacking robust support for advanced codecs, streaming, and multiple subtitle tracks. It remains common in older video files.
How to use this file
Use an example AVI to test RIFF-based demuxing, legacy codec handling, and converters that modernize older video into MP4 or MKV.
