Recently, I wrote an article about converting H264 to MP4 and got a positive response. After that, I also received some emails about converting H264 to AVI. Speaking of H.264, many people think it is a video file format. But in fact, it is a video compression codec that requires a video container such as MP4, AVI, MOV, etc. to carry its encoded video. But how to encapsulate H.264 into the desired container format? For example, AVI? Actually, it's very easy. In this article, I want to share a good solution on how to convert H.264 to AVI.

Tip: AVI can also use other video codecs, such as DivX and Xvid. DivX and Xvid are the two most commonly used codecs for AVI. When converting H264 files to AVI, you can re-encode the video with one of these codecs to meet different needs. However, re-encoding usually results in a loss of quality.

Step 1. Add H264 File to the Converter

Launch the software, select Converter, and add the H264 file to the interface by clicking the "Add File" button. Or you can just drag H.264 files and drop them into the program.

Step 2. Select AVI as the Output Format

Click "Output Format" on the right and select "AVI" under the "Video" tab. AVI supports three video encoders - DIVX, XVID, and H264. After choosing the output format, you can change the video encoder in Parameter settings.

DivX is a proprietary video codec that compresses video and audio with less quality loss. On the other hand, XviD is an open source codec based on the MPEG-4 video coding standard. Compared to DivX and XviD, H264 is more efficient and can reduce files to smaller files while maintaining the same level of quality. Since the original video uses H264, if you choose DivX or Xvid, it means that the compression becomes inefficient, so the output size will be larger. If you choose the same H264, the output size will be the same, there is no quality loss, and you should see a lightning icon that will boost the conversion up to 50X.

Step 3. Convert from H264 to AVI

The last step is to click the "Run" button. The H264 to AVI conversion will be completed soon.

H264 codec is used for recording, compression, and distribution of video content for AVCHD camcorders, HDTV, Blu-ray, and HD DVD. It delivers videos at a low bit rate and compresses videos wo smaller sizes with good quality. H264 is well supported by kinds of devices and platforms. However, there’s an exception. As this video compression standard can be used for surveillance cameras such as a CCTV camera that creates videos with H264 extension, occasionally, those H264 videos can't be played. To fix this playback issue, you can try to convert X264 or H264 to AVI, the popular video format which allows synchronous audio-with-video playback.
