Um, .avi is just a container for videos, not the actual format itself.
You must be wanting to convert your video to something other than Divx that uses the .avi container, but why? Recompressing it into something else would only make it loose video quality and uncompressed video is HUGE, so what's the point? (Unless you really are recompressing it, sacrificing video quality for a smaller filesize.) ![]() |

AFAIK Project Majo (later DivX Networks) used a propretary container format to store the MPEG4-ASP (MPEG4 Advanced Simple Profile, that's the correct name for the data format the DivX encoder and XviD produces). That's what used in files with the .divx extension.
I doubt it suffices to just change the extension to AVI. That may work with software that doesn't even rely on the extension but scans the file header to make a guess about the container format. And to repeat it: The question can't be answer this way. First thing: DivX is a software that produces MPEG4-ASP stream. To make this even more complicated (see above) DivX can also mean this proprietary file container format they use to embed their streams. Second thing: AVI is just another container (which shouldn't be used anymore because it's kind of broken when it comes to new features of the recent video codecs, like H264). |
