About AVI and WAV Formats

What is AVI?

AVI was introduced by Microsoft in 1992. AVI files typically carry MP3 or uncompressed PCM audio alongside DivX, Xvid or other video.

Commonly used for:

  • Older camera and webcam footage
  • Legacy Windows video
  • DivX/Xvid films

What is WAV?

WAV was introduced by Microsoft and IBM in 1991 and stores audio as uncompressed PCM samples. CD-quality stereo WAV (16-bit, 44.1 kHz) uses about 10 MB per minute, and every audio editor, DAW and media player can open it.

  • Recording, editing and mixing in any DAW
  • Mastering and archiving at full quality
  • Broadcast, sampling and sound-design work
  • Maximum compatibility with hardware and software

Why convert AVI to WAV?

Extract the audio from old home videos or clips to clean it up or reuse it in an audio project.
