Therefore, if they recognize it, it means that it is almost a universal format and we will not have problems. I speak of compatibilitySince being a Microsoft format, it has spread a lot and has taken on such extreme popularity that almost all the players and devices that we find are going to support it. As MKV it can use various types of codec to encode the content like DivX, Xvid, MP3, AC3, etc.īut despite all the disadvantages and problems that we can get out of the AVI format, it has such a great and important advantage that it almost makes all the disadvantages obviate. One of them is that it is a proprietary format, and also that it was created a long time ago and therefore it was not designed with some of the current needs in mind. In any case, there are many alternatives to convert.ĭeveloped by Microsoft in 1992, AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is also an audio and video container format like MKV, but more primitive and with great shortcomings compared to MKV. Another of the scenarios where it is interesting to move to another format. El size MKV file size is sometimes quite large, several gigabytes, which makes it difficult to be optimal for mobile devices that do not have high storage capacities.As I said, embedded or embedded player devices such as some TVs, mp3 players, portable mp4 players, optical BD, DVD players, etc., most likely will not support it.
