Convert AVI to VCD

Understanding AVI and VCD file formats

AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is a multimedia container format introduced by Microsoft. It allows synchronous audio-with-video playback and is widely used for storing video and audio data on computers. AVI files can contain both audio and video data in a file container that allows synchronous audio-with-video playback.

VCD (Video Compact Disc) is a format for storing video on a compact disc. It was widely used before DVDs became popular. VCDs use MPEG-1 encoding to store video and audio data, and they can be played on VCD players, DVD players, and some gaming consoles.
