| Description | Audio Video Interleaved (also Audio Video Interleave), known by its initials AVI, is a multimedia container format introduced by Microsoft in November 1992 as part of its Video for Windows software. AVI files can contain both audio and video data in a file container that allows synchronous audio-with-video playback. | MPG allows lossy compression with little audio and video quality loss for easy downloading due to the less space needed for storage. This file type offers small file sizes with high quality. MPG files are also listed as MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 files. Both MPG files serve as container files for audio and video data to ensure the two portions remain in sync. Windows, Mac, and many mobile devices can run MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 files. MPEG-2 is not the most efficient at file compression, but it is commonly used due to compatibility with various programs. The Moving Picture Experts Group designed standards for both files under the MPG category. |
| Technical details | AVI is a derivative of the Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF), which divides a file's data into blocks, or 'chunks.' A FourCC tag identifies each 'chunk'. An AVI file takes the form of a single chunk in a RIFF formatted file, which is then subdivided into two mandatory 'chunks' and one optional 'chunk'. | |
