Technical description
In AVI extension, file's data is divided into blocks or chunks as it is a sub-format of RIFF(Resource Interchange file format). An identification of each chunk is done by FourCC tag. File header and metadata of video(like height, width and frame rate) are identified by ‘hdrl tag' which is sub-chunk and it is mandatory. There is one another chunk which is also obligatory that is ‘movi tag' and it has actual audio or video data. The last sub-chunk is ‘idx1 tag' and it records the offsets of the data chunks. This ‘idx1 tag' is completely optional. There is one limitation of this format that it does not contain variable bitrate data.

This is the perfect format for 3G cell phones to store videos as low bandwidth is required and besides this, it takes less space to store videos. 3GPP2 can store similar video and audio streams as of 3GP and some additional streams as well. For instance- AMR-NB, AMR-WB, AMR-WB+, AAC-LC, HE-AAC v1, and HE-AAC v2. In addition to these aforesaid streams, EVR-C, EVRC-B, EVRC-WB, VMR-WB are other extra streams used in this format.
