Step-by-step Avi To Dvd Conversion Instructions

Audio Video Interleave (AVI) is a multimedia container format introduced by Microsoft as part of its Video for Windows (VFW) technology

. AVI files can contain both audio and video data in a file container that allows simultaneous audio-with-video playback. AVI files support several streaming audio and video similar to the DVD video format. AVI is a common format for audio/video on the PC and can be supported by some standalone DVD players. It is not ideal for use as a general purpose container.

To play an AVI file on Windows the type of decoder on the computer must be determined to render the video. AVI files consist of a property called a FourCC, which has four letters, based on the kind of encoding used. VFW decoders then register particular FourCCs with Windows, letting it know that they can decode video in those formats

AVI files can be created with no compression, resulting in extremely large file sizes, but with no loss of quality from the input video to the saved file. This also requires no codecs to be installed, either for saving or playback; as such it is recommended to use a Lossless Compression format instead.

AVI files can be easily converted to DVD with the use of convertor programs available on the internet. One example is the Avi2DVD which is a graphic user interface that uses freeware tools and various freeware encoders or CCE to perform conversions. Other types of convertors are Convert Genius, Adobe Premier, Nero, and Pinnacle.
