Among the various storage formats for video files, AVI is the most common. It is understood by many consumer devices: DVD players, e-books, and many models of music players. If the file you are interested in has a different extension that is not supported by your "device", there is a way out - a lot of programs that can easily convert video to avi format.
Instructions
Step 1
Download a video converting software. One of the powerful tools for converting most common formats is the Format Factory program. The current version is 2.80. You can also use Movavi Video Suite or Any Video Converter. Any of these programs allows you to convert your video file to another format. Let it be Format Factory. Follow the link (for example, https://www.formatoz.com/download.html) and download the installation file.
Step 2
Install the program. To do this, double-click on the downloaded file and answer the questions of the installation wizard. Click the Next or Next button several times on different installation pages. Click Finish or Finish when it appears and the installation is complete. You can start the main part of the work.
Step 3
Launch the Format Factory app. Double-click the left mouse button on the icon on the desktop or open the "Start" menu, then "All Programs" and there activate the icon of this utility.
Step 4
Click the All in AVI button, which is located in the task column on the left. A window with settings for converting and selecting source materials will open. Click the "File" button, it is located in the upper right part of the window. You can click the "Configure" button if you want to choose other parameters.

Click OK when finished with the conversion settings. The main program window will open.
Step 5
Click the "Start" button in the center of the top panel to start processing the video. After a while, depending on the power of the computer, the frame size and the duration of your video, the program will convert what you have chosen to avi. A sound signal and a message in the lower right part of the window will notify you of the end of the program.
Step 6
Open the folder with the result and check if the video plays. If necessary, repeat the conversion operation with different settings.
