- Description
- Xvid-encoded video files are digital video files that have been compressed and encoded using the Xvid codec, an open-source video codec designed for compressing video data in order to facilitate faster transmission over computer networks or for more efficient storage on computer disks. Xvid, which is a reverse spelling of "DivX," emerged as a popular format due to its ability to compress video files without significant loss of quality.
- An AVI file is a file saved in a multimedia container format created by Microsoft. It stores video and audio data that may be encoded in a variety of codecs such as DivX and XviD. AVI files typically use less compression than similar formats such as .MPEG and .MOV.
