<p class=level_1_indented>Audio Video Interleaved (AVI) is a general purpose video file format used in some video cameras and editing software.&nbsp; A wide range of codecs are supported that control how the videos are saved.&nbsp; These codecs affect the size and the quality of the output video.</p>

<p class=level_1_indented>To configure AVI properties, click <strong>Formats</strong> &gt;&gt; <strong>Select Standard Formats</strong> &gt;&gt; <strong>AVI</strong> &gt;&gt; <strong>Configure</strong>.</p>

<H2 class=ltr>Video Properties</h2> 

<p class=level_1_indented><strong>DivX 3(MS-MPEG-4 V3 Codec)</strong> compresses lengthy video segments into small sizes while maintaining relatively high visual quality.</p>

<p class=level_1_indented>You can change the compressor from the drop-down menu.&nbsp; The frame rate is set to <strong>25 fps</strong> and bitrate to <strong>1200 Kbps</strong>.&nbsp; You can choose to retain or change the dimensions of the video.</p>

<H2 class=ltr>Audio Properties</h2> 

<p class=level_1_indented>When compressed with <b>MP3 compressor</b>, the media files play on almost all portable audio players.&nbsp; You can change the compressor from the drop-down menu.&nbsp; The frequency is set to <strong>44100</strong><strong>Hz</strong> and bitrate to <strong>128 Kbps</strong>.&nbsp; The <b>Stereo</b> audio channel creates an impression of sound heard from various directions.</p>

<p class=level_1_indented>DV-AVI is a type of Audio Video Interleaved (AVI) file where the video has been compressed to conform to Digital Video (DV) standards.&nbsp; Movies made in the DV-AVI format can be exported to a Digital video camera attached to your PC.&nbsp; You can select NTSC or PAL depending on the standards supported by your Digital Video camera.</p>

<p class=level_1_indented>To configure DV-AVI, click <b>Formats</b> &gt;&gt; <b>Select Standard Formats</b> &gt;&gt; <b>DV-AVI</b> &gt;&gt; <b>Configure</b>.</p>

<p class=level_1_indented>There are two types of DV-AVI files.&nbsp; In <b>Type 1</b>, the interleaved data is stored as one stream in the AVI file.&nbsp; The interleaved data is split into separate audio and video streams in <b>Type 2</b>.&nbsp; For videos, where maximum throughput is crucial, it is better to use a Type 1 file, because Type 2 files carry redundant audio data.&nbsp; On the other hand, the application must extract the audio from the interleaved stream, make the edits, and interleave the data again in case of Type 1.</p><BR>
