How to Convert DVD to AVI?
What is AVI?
AVI, which stands for Audio Video Interleave, is a Container format used by Microsoft's Video for Windows multimedia framework. Since it was developed for Windows 3.1 in 1992 it lacks some features found in newer containers like MPEG or MP4, but is still widely used by consumers and even supported by some standalone DVD players. Although still supported in Windows, and suitable for certain formats like DV, it's not a good general purpose container, and even Microsoft uses other containers for their own video formats.
This guide shows you how to convert DVD to AVI format using DVD to AVI Converter. Let's take a look at how it performs:
Step 1. Import DVD Movies
Insert the DVD disc into the disc drive, click the "Open DVD" button to import it. Or if the DVD movie is saved as a folder on your computer, you need to click the "Add Video" button to locate that folder, which is composed of two separate folders: VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS. From the VIDEO_TS folder, select the .vob file to import and then click "OK".
Step 2. Choose Output Format
Extend the "Profile" menu. From the drop-down list of "Profile", navigate to the "AVI Video" category. From the sub-category, Choose ".avi" as the output format.
Step 3. Start to Convert
Now you can click the "Start Encode" button to starting converting DVD to AVI.
Note: The output video files are easily available by clicking the "Folder" button on the main menu after the conversion process is done.
