Convert AVI to MP4

Create an MP4 version of an AVI video for playback in players that support your chosen codecs.

AVI and MP4 are containers. Converting between them may involve re-encoding the video and audio, so choose settings that suit the original and the intended player.

Three Steps to Your Output

  1. Add the AVI File

    Select Add Media and open your AVI source. Check the displayed dimensions and audio details before choosing output settings.

  2. Select MP4

    Choose MP4 with H.264 video and a compatible audio preset such as AAC. Keep the original dimensions unless you have a reason to resize.

  3. Export a New Copy

    Choose a destination folder with Save to and select Convert. Open the new MP4 in your intended player before deleting or moving the original.

Choose Quality Deliberately

A higher bitrate usually means a larger file. Re-encoding does not improve detail beyond the original source. Test a short section to balance file size and visible quality.
