The MOV format was developed by Apple in 1998 as part of their QuickTime framework, while AVI (Audio Video Interleave) was developed by Microsoft in 1992.
AVI is one of the oldest video container formats still in use today. While MOV is optimized for the Apple ecosystem, AVI has long been a standard on Windows systems.
Despite its age, AVI remains popular due to its broad compatibility with older systems and software, making it valuable for archival purposes and when working with legacy equipment.
Converting MOV to AVI involves repackaging the video and audio streams from Apple's container format to Microsoft's AVI container.
Unlike more modern formats, AVI has limitations in supporting advanced features like variable bitrate audio or multiple subtitle tracks.
During conversion, video is typically transcoded using codecs like DivX, Xvid, or Motion JPEG that are well-supported within the AVI container.
AVI files tend to be larger than their MOV counterparts when using similar quality settings, as modern compression techniques may not be fully supported.
For optimal results, the conversion process carefully balances compatibility requirements with quality preservation.
Pro Tip: Converting from MOV to AVI is ideal when you need to share videos with users on older Windows systems or when working with legacy software that requires the AVI format.
