Part one: Introduction
Last week I came across an issue faced by my colleague saying, “it’s been a couple of weeks that I have been facing low or no space issue on my system as most of the files are of AVI format. Yesterday I got to know that due to less or no compression methodology, the AVI file format uses to occupy large storage space than other file formats. Thus, I want to know how I can convert my bulk of AVI files to some other file formats such as MP4.”
It is a fact that AVI files occupy ample space though good in terms of no quality loss, but, are not suitable for other devices except Windows. So, it is more beneficial if you know the process to convert AVI to MP4 format. It will not only solve the storage issue but also give your file more compatibility to other devices.
This article will provide you with two ways to perform AVI to MP4 conversion. One way focused on an online platform while the other one is traditional, which covers the Desktop version.
So, just roll on the sleeves to understand the process and get the file ready in no time.
