The Microsoft Audio/Video Interleaved (AVI) file format is a RIFF file specification used with applications that capture, edit, and playback audio/video sequences. In general, AVI files can contain multiple streams of different types of data. Most AVI sequences will use a single audio and a single video stream. A simple variation for an AVI sequence uses a single video stream and does not contain an audio stream.
This section describes the types of AVI files supported by OS/2 multimedia. Refer to the Microsoft documentation for a complete description of the AVI file format.
