AVI to FLAC Converter

AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is a multimedia container format introduced by Microsoft. It stores both video and audio data and is known for its simplicity and broad compatibility. AVI files often have larger file sizes compared to newer formats due to less efficient compression. It supports various codecs and is commonly used in older Windows-based applications. While less common today, AVI remains relevant in archival and compatibility-focused workflows.

FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an open-source audio format that compresses audio without any loss in quality. It is ideal for audiophiles, music archiving, and professional audio storage. FLAC files are much smaller than uncompressed WAVs while preserving the exact original sound. The format supports rich metadata, fast seeking, and is compatible with many players and platforms. FLAC is widely used in music distribution where fidelity is paramount.
