Files with avi file extension are videos or movies that can be played in every media player (sometimes proper codec is needed). These files are also supported by most video editors and converters. Often used for DVD rips on torrents.
Note that the installation instructions specify numerous additional downloads you can get, but we have found them unnecessary in Mac OS X 10.2 or later. Drag and drop.avi files onto DivX Doctor II. They will be converted into.mov files and stored on your hard drive at the location you specify. As AVI video files are widely used in our current digital media world, there are so many AVI video sources coming and staying in our computers either on Mac or Windows. Those AVI video files can be generated from many recording devices or transformed from other video formats even download online.
