Understanding AVI and MP2 file formats
AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is a multimedia container format developed by Microsoft. It can contain both audio and video data in a file that allows synchronous audio-with-video playback. AVI files are widely used for storing movies and video clips on computers.
MP2 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer II) is an audio compression format commonly used for audio broadcasting and digital radio. It is less common for consumer audio storage but is still used in some professional and broadcast applications.
