What is a AVI file?
AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is a multimedia container format introduced by Microsoft. It can store both video and audio data in a single file and supports a variety of codecs.
Although an older format, AVI is still widely supported and used for video playback, editing, and sharing. However, its larger file sizes and limited support for newer features make it less efficient than modern formats.
How to open AVI files
AVI files are compatible with nearly all media players, including VLC, Windows Media Player, and QuickTime (with codecs). They are widely used in both editing and playback.
You can convert AVI to MP4 or MKV using AnyConv for improved compression and compatibility.

What is a HEVC file?
HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding), also known as H.265, is a modern video compression standard designed to deliver high-quality video at lower bitrates than its predecessor, H.264.
HEVC is widely used for 4K and 8K video streaming, Blu-ray discs, and modern smartphones. It offers excellent compression efficiency, though it may require newer hardware or software for playback.
How to open HEVC files
HEVC-encoded videos can be opened in VLC, PotPlayer, and modern systems with H.265 codec support. Windows 10+ and macOS support it natively in many apps.
To ensure compatibility, convert HEVC videos to H.264/MP4 using AnyConv.
