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.

.DV file formats make use of intra-frame compression to simplify the work of video editing. Intra-frame compression is the process of taking still images and playing them one after the other. In addition, the file format is still intensive in matters of memory storage. A 5-minute video clip can take up to a gigabyte of memory.
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.
