Technical Details
Codec Migration
Converts legacy AVI codecs (DivX 3.11, Xvid, uncompressed RGB) to modern H.264 Main/High profile or H.265 HEVC. Automatically detects source codec and applies optimal conversion parameters to maintain visual quality while achieving maximum compression efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will converting AVI to MP4 reduce video quality?
When converting from compressed AVI codecs like DivX or Xvid, there may be minimal quality loss due to re-encoding. However, our advanced algorithms minimize this impact. Converting from uncompressed AVI actually improves efficiency while maintaining visual quality.
Why are my AVI files so much larger than MP4 files?
AVI files often use older, less efficient codecs or uncompressed formats. MP4 uses modern H.264/H.265 compression that can reduce file sizes by 50-90% while maintaining similar quality levels.
Can I convert multiple AVI files to MP4 at once?
Yes, Convertify supports batch conversion, allowing you to convert entire folders of AVI files to MP4 simultaneously. This saves significant time when processing large video collections.
Will the converted MP4 files play on my iPhone?
Absolutely. MP4 is the native video format for iOS devices. Your converted files will play directly in the Photos app, QuickTime, and any video player on iPhone or iPad.
Do you support AVI files with multiple audio tracks?
Yes, Convertify can handle AVI files with multiple audio streams and convert them to MP4 format while preserving all audio tracks. You can choose which tracks to include in the conversion process.
What’s the difference between H.264 and H.265 for MP4 conversion?
H.264 offers excellent compatibility with older devices and faster encoding, while H.265 (HEVC) provides better compression for smaller file sizes. For maximum compatibility, choose H.264; for smallest files, choose H.265.
Can I convert old DivX AVI movies to MP4?
Yes, Convertify fully supports converting DivX-encoded AVI files to MP4. This is particularly useful for old movie collections that won’t play on modern devices or streaming platforms.
Why won’t my AVI files play on my smart TV?
Most smart TVs have limited codec support and may not recognize the AVI container or its internal codecs like DivX/Xvid. Converting to MP4 with H.264 ensures compatibility with virtually all smart TV brands.
