Understanding MJPG and AVI file formats

MJPG (Motion JPEG) is a video format that compresses each video frame as a separate JPEG image. It is commonly used in digital cameras and webcams for video recording. The format is known for its simplicity and ease of editing, but it can result in larger file sizes compared to other video formats.

AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is a multimedia container format introduced by Microsoft. It can contain both audio and video data in a file container that allows synchronous audio-with-video playback. AVI files are widely supported across different platforms and devices, making them a popular choice for video playback and editing.
