AVI VS MP4
AVI
- 1.AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is a multimedia container developed by Microsoft as its part of Video for Windows software. An AVI file contains both video and audio data in a file container. When you play an AVI file, the audio and video will be played synchronously.
- 2.AVI is an uncompressed video format. This feature has both advantage and disadvantage. Video compression techniques are developed to reduce video size, but at the same time, the video quality will be reduced probably. Since AVI format cannot be compressed, the file size of AVI video will be extremely large, but the video will retain in its original quality.
- 3.AVI format does not support for menus or streaming, which makes it an excellent format to store and edit video, but it's not a good format to distribute video via Internet or physical media.
- 4.Videos in AVI format are compatible with almost all Microsoft systems and devices.
MP4
- 1.MP4(MPEG-4 Part 14) is a digital multimedia container format that is the most commonly used to store video and audio. It's a method of defining compression of audio and visual digital data introduced by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG).
- 2.MP4 supports for compression, subtitles, multiple data types and streaming. It allows the use of lossless compression codecs, so video in MP4 format often owns a better quality compared with those in the same size.
- 3.Due to the efficient trade-off between video quality and file size as well as streaming support, MP4 is most commonly used to distribute video via the Internet.
- 4.MP4 format is compatible with almost all portable media players. It's friendly to most of the mobile devices.
