About AVI
AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is a container format Microsoft introduced in 1992 for video on Windows.
Older cameras, Windows software and video collections from the 1990s and 2000s.
AVI predates modern codecs and has no native support for features such as variable frame rate, so it is rarely used for new video.
