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.

Why is my AVI file so much bigger than modern video? The container predates efficient codecs like H.264, so an hour of video can take many gigabytes that an MP4 would store in a fraction of the space.
About Ogg Video
Ogg Video (OGV) is the open Ogg container from the Xiph.Org Foundation holding Theora video, usually with Vorbis audio.
Open-source projects and Wikimedia Commons, which accepts video only in free formats.
Theora compresses less efficiently than modern codecs, and Apple devices do not play OGV natively.
Why convert video to OGV? For websites that standardise on open formats: Firefox and Chrome play it without patented codecs.
