AVI videos can be converted to DivX® using video converter software, with various output options available. Paid software offers more features, while freeware is suitable for casual users. DivX® is a compressed video format, with two variations available.
Converting AVI video format to DivX® video format is done using video converter software. Both formats are digital and require a computer, PC or Mac, to play or convert. Numerous software packages, both paid and free, offer conversion as a feature or are specifically designed for video conversion only. While not all software has the direct ability to convert AVI to DivX®, some convert AVI to other video formats that can be converted to DivX®.
The conversion process involves loading the AVI source video into the application interface, then setting the output options. The output can include anything from resolution to aspect ratio, frame rate, compression, subtitles, cropping, audio quality, and stereo or mono audio output. Some software allows multiple source videos to be uploaded, either for batch conversion processing or for combining multiple files into one file.
Once the output options are defined, the software typically allows end users to specify a filename and destination folder for saving the new video file. After that, the conversion process is fully automated; the software analyzes the video frame by frame, applying output settings and specific video codec settings to convert AVI to DivX®. Encoding video from one format to another is also known as transcoding and can take a lot of time and system resources, depending on the size and quality of the source file. After conversion, users may require a different media player to view DivX® video, depending on the capabilities of existing media player applications.
Online research can determine the best software to convert AVI to DivX®, depending on the source materials, user requirements and intended use. Paid software generally offers more functionality, features and flexibility than freeware. Frequent users, such as media producers and digital video editors, often use paid conversion software, while casual or casual users often use freeware or time-limited trials.
AVI stands for “Audio Video Interleave”. The video format was developed by Microsoft and is based on the division of video and audio data into blocks connected by coded tags. The DivX® codec was developed with the aim of compressing file sizes while still delivering acceptable video quality; one of the reasons many people convert AVI to DivX® is to save space on their hard drive. Although commonly referred to as DivX®, there are actually two formats: MPEG-4 Part 2 and the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC DivX® Plus HD codec.
