Exporting an AVI File

AVI is a Windows-compatible movie file format for digital video. This file type is no
longer officially supported by Microsoft, but it’s still frequently used. The AVI format is
similar to a QuickTime movie file, but it supports fewer track types and codecs. It is
useful mainly for delivery of movie files to Windows computers or the Internet.
