Windows Media Player, VLC, and MPC‑HC open most AVI files. If the clip uses an obscure four‑character codec (FourCC), install the corresponding VFW decoder or remux to MKV with FFmpeg. Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve import AVI but may transcode on the timeline for GPU effects.
Audio Video Interleave (AVI) is Microsoft’s venerable multimedia container introduced with Video for Windows. It stores audio and video streams in interleaved RIFF chunks, allowing simple players to read sequentially from disk. While it supports multiple codecs, it lacks modern features like B‑frame timestamping and embedded subtitles. Released in 1992 to counter Apple’s QuickTime, AVI became ubiquitous on Windows 95 thanks to the Indeo and Cinepak codecs. The rise of DivX in 1999 rejuvenated AVI for internet sharing, but mismatched VBR audio led to sync headaches. Microsoft replaced it with ASF/WMV and eventually MP4, yet legacy camcorders and CCTV systems still output AVI.
