What to expect
- The RealVideo stream is re-encoded, so expect one generation of lossy quality loss.
- AVI has weak native support for modern subtitle and multi-track features, so extras from the RMVB may be dropped.
- Playback of the AVI depends on the chosen video codec being installed in the player.
Frequently asked questions
Is quality preserved when converting RMVB to AVI?
AVI does not support RealVideo, so the stream is decoded and re-encoded into an AVI-compatible codec such as MPEG-4 (Xvid/DivX). Because both formats are lossy, the re-encode introduces a slight, unavoidable quality reduction.
Why convert RMVB to AVI?
AVI is an older but broadly compatible Microsoft container that many desktop players and editors handle, whereas RMVB support is limited. The conversion trades a niche format for a more universally accepted one.
What opens an AVI file?
VLC media player opens AVI on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS and includes the DivX/Xvid codecs older AVI files rely on.
Could the AVI be larger than the RMVB?
RMVB's variable-bitrate encoding is efficient, so an AVI re-encode can end up a similar size or larger depending on the codec and bitrate chosen. Size depends on the encoding settings rather than the container itself.
