AVI at a glance

AVI

Convert to AVI when an older editor, recorder, analysis tool, or device workflow explicitly expects it, or when preserving compatibility with legacy video archives matters.

It is useful for certain capture and processing chains where AVI remains a known stable interchange wrapper.

For streaming, web playback, and compact delivery, MP4 or WebM are usually stronger options.

AIFC at a glance

AIFC

Convert to AIFC when maintaining compatibility with legacy Mac, sampler, or media workflows that explicitly expect compressed AIFF-family files.

It is useful for archive migration and recovery of older multimedia assets.

For new distribution or production pipelines, AIFF, WAV, or M4A are usually more practical.
