Summary
AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is a multimedia container format that can store both audio and video data in a file container that allows synchronous audio-with-video playback. AVI files have less compression which leads to larger file sizes but maintains high video quality. AVI files are best suited for video playback on Windows devices, but they are also compatible with many other platforms.
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer III), on the other hand, is an audio coding format for digital audio. MP3 files are highly compressed, leading to smaller file sizes. This format is used primarily for audio files, including music and podcasts, and is highly compatible across almost all platforms.
In summary, use AVI when dealing with video content and when maintaining high video quality is a priority. Choose MP3 when you need to store audio content and when file size and broad compatibility are key considerations.
