AVI
Microsoft media container
AVI stands for Audio Video Interleave, a multimedia container format developed by Microsoft in 1992.
AVI files store audio and video data that can be played back synchronously.
Though largely superseded by more efficient formats like MP4, AVI files remain common: The old home movies were all in AVI format. (Lowercase avi is a given name.)
