What is AVI?
AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is a multimedia container developed by Microsoft in 1992 to work with its Video for Windows software. An AVI file can contain both audio and video tracks. AVI files also have higher quality than MP4 files, but they’re larger.
The AVI video file container isn’t used as often as it used to be because it’s not ideal for sharing or streaming video. AVI files also can’t support 4K or UHD resolution. You can play AVI videos with Windows Media Player, VLC, and several other AVI players like JetVideo and KM Player.
What is MP3?
An MP3 is a digital audio file that’s compressed so it’s easy to store and transfer. It’s a lossy format, meaning it drops some of the audio’s sound when it’s compressed. Most of this dropped sound is inaudible when you play it back, however. MP3 files can be about one-tenth the size of lossless audio files, making them easy to share, store and play back on most devices.
