What is AVI?• AVI is a container format that is used for

synchronizing video and audio data for ease of playback [1]

• Uses RIFF (Resource Interchange File Format) to segment the different data. [1]

Page 4: AVI File Format By : Jacob, Bab and Conor. Basic operation Presented By: Conor.

How Does RIFF help?

• By segmenting the data into “chunks” and each having 2 or 3 “sub-chunks” [2] [3]

• Each Chunk contains both video/audio data and metadata used by a Codec for playback.

So what Data can AVI contain?• AVI Format files can hold full-frame, MPEG-4,

indeo, and many more. [1]

• The header chunk contains all the info needed for media Codecs to read and use the content segmented and synchronized by AVI.

• Unless the audio/video data is uncompressed before encapsulation, playback will be lossy. [3]

Quality vs Bit rate

Presented by : Jacob

Page 7: AVI File Format By : Jacob, Bab and Conor. Basic operation Presented By: Conor.

Three Main factors that determine Bit Rate of an AVI video are [3] :

• Resolution

• Frame rate

• Variable bit rate vs Constant Bit Rate

Page 8: AVI File Format By : Jacob, Bab and Conor. Basic operation Presented By: Conor.

Resolution

• Resolution effects the pixel density of an image [4]

• lower resolution = lower quality images + lower bit rate

• Higher resolution = higher quality images + higher bit rate

5548 x 637250 x 58

Frame Rate :

• Is the amount of images that appear per second• Humans generally perceive smooth motion at 24 fps however

most videos follow the ntsc standard at 29• Kush gauge: pixel count x fps x motion factor (1,2 or 4) x 0.07 ÷

1000 = bit rate in kbps [5]

Example using 1280 x 720 resolution and low motion (factor of 1)

(921,600 x 5) x 1 x 0.07 = 322,560 bps / 1000 = 322 kbps bitrate[5]

(921,600 x 25) x 1 x 0.07 = 1,612,800 bps/ 1000 = 1613 kbps bitrate

VBR Vs CBR

• Variable bit rate is when a file switches from a minimum to maximum bit rate [3]. Also usually reduces bit rate by 25% [4]

• Constant bit rate only has one one set rate but provides smoother playback and less stress to the video player. [3]

Advantages and Disadvantages

Presented by : Bab

Page 12: AVI File Format By : Jacob, Bab and Conor. Basic operation Presented By: Conor.

• High compatibility with VirtualDub and Windows Media Player.

• Advanced DV-AVI standard is compressed to conform

with DV standard. • Plays in mainstream media players such as Windows

Media Player.[1]

Advantages of AVI

Page 13: AVI File Format By : Jacob, Bab and Conor. Basic operation Presented By: Conor.

Continue

• Can be used as a starting point to create playable DVDs.

• Does not require any special hardware or software.

• Widely used in business such as advertisement and promo videos. [6]

Page 14: AVI File Format By : Jacob, Bab and Conor. Basic operation Presented By: Conor.

Disadvantages

• AVI does not provide a standardized way to encode aspect ratio information, with the result that players cannot select the right one automatically .

• Can not hold VBR data such as mp3 below 32khz sample rate.

• Its ability to enhance sound is bad• It has limited picture resolution, and it is unable

to do full screen and full motion video. [7]

Current and Future Applications

Presented by : Jacob

Page 16: AVI File Format By : Jacob, Bab and Conor. Basic operation Presented By: Conor.

• Since being created in 1992 [8] avi has is still the digital standard for recording and editing videos

• Avi has influenced other derivatives like xvid (compressed avi) and dv – avi (lossless avi)[9]

• DV- Avi is used in current video cameras.

Current Applications

Page 17: AVI File Format By : Jacob, Bab and Conor. Basic operation Presented By: Conor.

• Slowly being replaced by wmv (very slowly) because of having no ability to maintain aspect ratio information[10]

• Other formats like mpeg 4 and ogg solve this problem. [11]

• Formats like xvid and divx are updated versions of avi and will continue to be used for pc playback.

Future Applications
