How to convert MP4 to AVI?

Introduction.

MP4 is a popular container format for audio and video data. MP4 files can be audio-only, which is not uncommon, but we will talk about MP4 that contain both audio and video streams. The format is promoted largely by Apple, all products from Apple (iPod, iPhone, iTunes etc.) default to it.

AVI is another container format developed and promoted by Microsoft. Its popularity is so great that most people think AVI, if a video file is mentioned. The format is also supported by hardware DVD players (those with DivX logo).

You can convert MP4 to AVI with a tool like Movavi Video Converter.

If you want to convert only a part of the video, you can click the video in the conversion list and use controls in the preview area to set start/end time.

Click the "Advanced" tab in the lower part of the window (1). In the "Output format" area, select "AVI (DivX, Xvid, etc)" from the first dropdown menu (2). By default, the program takes settings for audio and video quality from the source file. If you need to fine tune the settings, you can click the cogwheel icon on the right in the same area.
