Why convert AVI to WMV?

Converting AVI to WMV optimizes your video for different playback requirements. AVI (Audio Video Interleave) and WMV (Windows Media Video) use different container structures with different strengths.

AVI vs WMV: technical comparison

AVI (Audio Video Interleave, introduced in 1992) uses proprietary compression. WMV (Windows Media Video, introduced in 1999) uses proprietary compression. AVI browser support: None. WMV browser support: Limited (Edge on Windows only).

What happens to quality?

The quality impact depends on the specific settings used during conversion. WMV uses compression that may affect quality depending on the chosen settings.

File size impact

Typical AVI file size: A 1-minute 1080p DivX video: ~20-40 MB; uncompressed: ~3 GB. Typical WMV file size: A 1-minute 720p VC-1 video: ~10-20 MB.

Pro tip

For the best conversion results, always start from the highest quality source file available. Converting from a previously compressed file compounds any existing compression artifacts. When in doubt, use higher quality settings — you can always re-convert at lower quality later, but you cannot recover quality that has been lost.
