AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is a legacy Microsoft format from the 1990s. It often uses codecs, like DivX or Xvid, that macOS doesn't support natively, causing playback issues or requiring additional software. MP4 (H.264) is the modern universal standard: it plays on every Mac, iPhone, Android, and Windows PC without extra codecs, and is accepted by all streaming platforms. Converting AVI to MP4 fixes compatibility issues once and for all.
