AVI is a classic Microsoft video format from the 1990s. It offers broad compatibility and good quality but large, inefficient files, so it is mostly replaced by MP4 today - though it is still common in older archives.

How to open a AVI file

AVI opens in Windows Media Player, VLC and most desktop players; for phones and browsers, converting to MP4 is the reliable choice.

What is a M4V file?

M4V is Apple’s take on the MP4 video container, used by iTunes for films and TV shows. It is almost identical to MP4, but store-bought M4V files can carry DRM copy protection; renaming to .mp4 often works, otherwise a real conversion is needed.
