What is AVI?
AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is a multimedia container format developed by Microsoft in 1992. It stores both video and audio data, allowing synchronized playback. AVI files use less compression, resulting in larger file sizes compared to modern formats like MP4. It supports multiple codecs, affecting compatibility across devices. While still used, AVI is largely replaced by more efficient formats for online streaming.
What is MPEG?
MPEG stands for Moving Picture Experts Group, a working group formed by ISO and IEC to develop standards for audio and video compression. It creates widely used formats like MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4, which enable efficient storage and transmission of multimedia content. MPEG standards balance video quality and compression to reduce file size. They are commonly used in formats like MP3, MP4, and DVDs.
