AVI File Format
By : Jacob, Bab and Conor
Basic operation
Presented By: Conor
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]
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
Three Main factors that determine Bit Rate of an AVI video are [3] :
• Resolution
• Frame rate
• Variable bit rate vs Constant Bit Rate
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
• 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
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]
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
• 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
• 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
