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.
RealNetworks, an internet streaming Media Company, is credited as the developers and owners of the proprietary RealMedia multimedia container format. The filename extension .rm refers to this format which is used as an audio and video wrapper to distribute digital media content over the internet. The first version of this container was released in 1997 and has been popularized for its ability to unpack the digital stream while it is being downloaded over computer networks such as the internet. The format is platform agnostic and works equally well on Microsoft Windows as it does on Linux or Mac OS.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for AVI to RM 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 RM 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 RM 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.
Unlike RealMedia variable bitrate format, the RealMedia container format encodes streaming media at a constant bitrate. .rm files use proprietary video and audio compression encoding formats from the RealVideo and RealAudio suite of compression formats. Video stream encoding was upon its initial release based upon the H.263 compression format.
