3. Settings

settings avi
Select “AVI” in the pull-down menu of “Export format” as the format of the output video file.

In the panel of “Include Video in Output File”, you can change the video settings: video codec, frame rate, resolution (frame size), etc.

The size of the AVI file depends a lot on the chosen video codec. The old codecs shipped with Windows, such as MJPEG, Microsoft Video 1 are not very efficient. You can use additional codecs from Microsoft or the third party codecs to reduce the file size. DivX and XviD are two of the third party codecs, which produce video with excellent quality and smaller file size. The two are based on MPEG-4, and both can be used with the AVI file format.

However, if you use any non-standard codecs from the AVI file, please keep in mind that the viewer of the created video must have the codecs installed on their PC, too, or your file may not be compatible with all video editing software.

In the panel of “Include Audio in Output File”, you can change the video settings, such as the audio codec. Depending on the codecs, you may also change the sample rate, channel, audio codec and bit rate.

If you choose “mp3″ as the audio codec, you may encounter some problems. For example, the MP3 compressor does not work correctly in video files and often causes the conversion to abort in the middle. So we suggest that use other codecs instead of mp3 will be better

4. Convert

Here you can choose an export rout by clicking on the browse button, then press “start” to convert.

After conversion, mission accomplished! Then you can get AVI file.
