Technical Format Comparison: AVI vs MP4
- Legacy Microsoft Container vs Modern MP4: AVI (Audio Video Interleave) was introduced by Microsoft in 1992. MP4 is a modern container that provides vastly superior compression efficiency.
- File Size Depends on Encoding: Older AVI files can be large. Converting to H.264 MP4 often reduces size, but the result and visible quality depend on the original codec, bitrate, duration, and selected settings.
