AVI to WEBM converter

AVI, or Audio Video Interleave, is a common video file format developed by Microsoft. It is used to store Digital video footage with an accompanying audio track. The AVI file format is often used for playing movies and other types of video content. AVI files are stored in a specific container format that contains both audio and video data compressed with a variety of Bytewise or Bitwise codecs.

AVI files come with a variety of options such as several audio and video compression formats and can include attributes such as adjusting the playback speed of the video. These files are encoded in such a way that they have suitable compatibility across different platforms, allowing them to be played back on most devices without any loss of quality.

WEBM is an open video file format based on the Matroska media container. It is primarily used for HTML5 video streaming on the Internet. WEBM files typically contain video compressed with VP8 or VP9 codecs and audio compressed with Vorbis or Opus codecs. It is a popular format for displaying video on the web as it produces high quality streaming videos which can be easily shared over the web.

Files with the WEBM file extension are small in size, making them much more efficient to download and store than other video formats such as AVI and MP4. Therefore, WEBM files offer a more cost effective solution for streaming video over the Internet. As such, many websites use this format to stream their content online.
