What is it?
AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is an older Microsoft video container format from the 1990s, still found in older recordings and downloads.
How do I open it?
Plays in VLC on any platform; Windows Media Player may need an extra codec depending on how the video inside was encoded.
Is it safe?
Yes, AVI only contains media data.
Can I delete it?
Safe to delete once no longer needed; convert to MP4 for smaller size and better compatibility.
