Convert MVE to AVI

Understanding MVE and AVI file formats

The MVE file format is a multimedia format primarily used in video games developed by Interplay Entertainment. It is known for storing video sequences and is not widely supported by most media players. On the other hand, the AVI file format (Audio Video Interleave) is a popular multimedia container format introduced by Microsoft. AVI files can contain both audio and video data in a file container that allows synchronous audio-with-video playback, making it a widely used format for video playback across different platforms.
