The AVI file format is one of the most widely used multimedia containers ever devised. AVI, which stands for audio video interleaved, was first introduced to the public by Microsoft in 1992 as part of their 'video for windows' multimedia framework. Being a container format, an AVI file with the .avi filename extension can exist with both video and audio content synchronized for playback. The format can thus be used by authors to edit and encode audio video sequences or just video sequences. The Digital video AVI format exists in two forms, Type 1 and Type 2.
Originally being developed by a Third Generation Partnership Project II, it's used in the third generation mobile phones, 3g2 is basically used as an audio as well as video file format. It is a relatively similar file format to 3gp with some advancements as well as limitations. Specifically, the 3g2 format is for CDMA based mobile phones rather than GSM-based phones, this format is used in fourth generation phones as well. Basically, it is for video viewing, it is also used for transferring photos and videos through the internet. Based on the standards of MPEG-4, it is developed in the light to play the media and to deliver it through the internet connection over high speed.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for AVI to 3G2 conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload AVI files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized 3G2 results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent 3G2 audio with dependable progress tracking.
The AVI format was derived from the RIFF or resource interchange file format which is a generic container format. Digital video that is interleaved can be stored natively as a single stream conforming to the type-1 specification of the AVI file format. This has the disadvantage however of not being compatible with the video for windows framework. In general, the number of blocks in .avi files determine the amount of overhead. Overhead associated with the audio stream is determined by which codec is used to encode the stream for example AC3 or MP3-VBR.
3g2 format has a contrasting similarity with MP-4 and is a more simplified version of the complex MPEG-4. It is actually designed to accommodate in the cellular phones, its bandwidth requirements are reduced in order to reduce the storage required. It stores and streams the videos and audios as done by the 3gP format. However, the audio streams that are stored by the 3g2, are in the extensions such as EVRC-B, SMV, EVRC-WB, VMR-WB, EVRC, 13k or QCELP.
