Convert VP6 to AVI

Understanding VP6 and AVI file formats

The VP6 file format is a video codec developed by On2 Technologies, primarily used for video compression in Flash Video files. It was widely used for streaming video content on the internet due to its efficient compression capabilities. However, with the advent of more advanced codecs, its usage has declined.

The AVI (Audio Video Interleave) file format is a multimedia container format introduced by Microsoft. It is one of the oldest video formats and is widely supported across various platforms and devices. AVI files can contain both audio and video data in a file container that allows synchronous audio-with-video playback.
