Whatever your camera, screen recorder or download produced, converting that video to AVI gets you a file built for opening old archives and humoring legacy Windows tools. Flippy reads practically any video format and writes clean AVI: codecs, containers and all the fiddly parts handled for you.

Why flip video to AVI

Video is the heaviest thing most of us ever attach: screen recordings, camera clips, whole talks. It was born in wherever your camera, screen recorder or download came from, and its real weak spot is nothing inherently; every container brings its own quirks.

AVI is the veteran of desktop video: dependable in 1995, cranky about everything invented since. Audio Video Interleave: an early container that predates streaming and most codecs you'd use today. That makes it the right destination when what you need is opening old archives and humoring legacy Windows tools.

Questions people ask

Will converting video to AVI lose quality?

Flippy always picks the gentlest path: container swaps and extractions copy your streams untouched, and re-encodes happen once, at quality matched to the source.

Will the AVI file be bigger or smaller than my video?

It depends on the format you pick as the output: lossy formats land a few megabytes per minute, lossless several times that.

Where will the AVI file play?

Old Windows software and desktop players; phones and browsers mostly refuse. That's the usual reason people leave video behind: AVI simply opens in more of the places that matter.

How long does video to AVI conversion take?

It scales with length and resolution: short clips finish in seconds, long HD videos can take a few minutes. Files auto-delete within an hour after.
