Convert SEQ to AVI

Understanding SEQ and AVI file formats

The SEQ file format is commonly used for storing sequences of images, often in scientific and medical imaging applications. It is a specialized format that can contain multiple frames of data, making it ideal for capturing time-lapse sequences or other image series.

The AVI file format (Audio Video Interleave) is a widely used multimedia container format introduced by Microsoft. It can contain both audio and video data in a single file, making it a popular choice for video playback and editing across various platforms.

How to convert SEQ to AVI

Converting a SEQ file to an AVI file involves extracting the image sequence from the SEQ file and encoding it into the AVI format. This process allows you to play the sequence as a video on standard media players.
