Why convert ROFL to AVI?
A ROFL file (League of Legends Replay) is a proprietary binary format storing player inputs, unit positions, and game events - not footage. AVI is a RIFF-based multimedia container (introduced 1992 by Microsoft) that holds compressed video frames and audio. Because ROFL contains no rendered frames, there is no source data to repackage into .avi.
How to convert ROFL to AVI
OBS Studio FREE
Play the .rofl file in the League of Legends client and record the game window with OBS Studio; set the output format to AVI or MP4 in OBS settings.

- Sites or tools claiming direct ROFL-to-AVI conversion produce no valid output and may bundle adware.
