## AVI

AVI is Microsoft’s format from the 1990s. Old digital cameras saved Motion JPEG in it, and DivX and Xvid films were shared as AVI for years.

Those codecs don’t play on phones, smart TVs or in browsers, so an AVI is almost always re-encoded to H.264.

## AVI to MP3: remux or re-encode

Only the soundtrack of the AVI is decoded; the picture is never touched. The sound is encoded with LAME, the reference MP3 encoder, at 128–320 kbps.

An MP3 is far smaller than the video: a minute at 192 kbps is about 1.4 MB, so an hour-long recording becomes roughly 85 MB.

## How it works

1. Drop one or more AVI files: MP3 is already selected. Quality, maximum resolution and sound can be changed before you start.
2. The soundtrack is decoded by your browser, or by FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly for formats it can’t open, and saved as MP3.
3. Download each file, or all of them as one ZIP.

## Questions

### Are my videos uploaded?

No. Reading, remuxing and encoding all run in this browser tab. Open DevTools and watch the Network tab while a file converts: no request carries it.

### Why is one file done in seconds and another takes minutes?

A remux only copies the streams, so it runs at disk speed. A re-encode decodes and encodes every frame; FFmpeg in WebAssembly, used when the browser can’t, is slower still.

### How large can a video be?

Up to 3 GB per file for free, and as many files as you like. Remuxes and WebCodecs re-encodes stream from the disk; the FFmpeg path holds the result in memory.
