All About AVI on Mac

What is an AVI?

AVI, an acronym for Audio Video Interleave, is a multimedia container format. An AVI file can carry audio/visual data inside in almost any compression scheme, including: MPEG-4, XviD, DivX and others.

Most AVIs contain a DivX, and require a quicktime component to be used on a Mac.

Some AVIs contain a WMV. Click here for more information on how to play WMV



How to Play AVI on Mac

Although all computers should be able to play an AVI with player software, they are not playable by all DVD players. In addition, in order to play an AVI, you may need to install a component

If you haven't already done so, install the AVI Quicktime Component, or install the MPlayer component.

  • AVI Quicktime Component
    • To download the AVI component, go to our Digital Video Resource Page
    • To install the component, double-click the installer and follow the instructions
  • MPlayer component
    • To use the Integrated MPlayer feature, you must have the MPlayer component installed. The first time you use this feature, MacVCD X will automatically find and install this component for you.

Most players will need the component before they will play the AVI

How to Convert AVI to DVD, VCD, SVCD on Mac

To make an AVI in to a playable disk, you need to

  • Convert the video files from AVI to DVD, VCD or SVCD
  • Create the disk image
  • Burn the disc.

When looking for software, make sure you get both converter software and burner software.
