Microsoft Audio/Visual Interleaved
| File extension | .avi |
| File category | video |
| Description | AVI stands for Audio and Video Interleave. It has an extension written as .avi, and users use this same format to store audio and video on their PC, which was developed by Microsoft in 1992 for its Video for Windows project. It allows the simultaneous playback by keeping video and audio into a single file. The simple architecture of .avi format will enable it to run on various operating systems such as Windows, Mac, Linux, Unix. It is supported by multiple web players as well. |
| Technical details | AVI format uses Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF) support, where the real data is stored into chunks, and each chunk gets recognized by a FourCC tag. Out of these individual chunks, the first one can be recognized by the hdrl tag, and it can decode the chunk containing metadata for the video. The second chunk gets identified by the movi tag, and it includes the actual audio and visual data which makes up the AVI movie. It uses less compression rather than the MOV and MPEG file formats. |

MP3 Audio File
| File extension | .mp3 |
| File category | audio |
| Description | MP3 (formally MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3 or MPEG-2 Audio Layer-3) is a digital format for storing audio files and audio streaming. MPEG programmers designed the format. It is one of the most required codecs for digital coding. The format is widely used in various file-sharing sites for evaluation downloading. Due to lossy compression in this audio format, it is possible to compress CD tracks up to 1/10 of their original size while maintaining high playback quality. Moreover, it can be encoded at higher or lower bit rates to adjust the resulting quality. Overtones, which cannot be perceived by a human ear, are removed. Complex algorithms allow for a smaller size of tracks. As a result, one compact disk can contain several hundred songs. MP3 is compatible with all the most popular operating systems and is supported by most modern DVD-players and music systems. |
| Technical details | Before MP3 introduction, MPEG-1 had been widely used. That format contained not only audio data but images as well. MP3 breaks an audio file into parts of the same length. When the processing is over, each part is packed into its frame. It involves the spectral limit technology that requires a continuous input signal to provide the use of two adjacent structures. When spectral deleting is over, the file is to be compressed with mathematic methods. If necessary, the compression rate can be changed, even inside the same frame. Files of 128 kbit/s have 11-fold compression. Further reduction of the file size will lead to a significant deterioration in sound quality. |
