AVI (Audio Visual Interleave) files are multimedia container files for playing video synchronized with audio in Microsoft Windows applications. You may find it necessary to convert AVI to MP4 (MPEG-4) files for other playback situations, such as playback on a smartphone, iPod or PSP (PlayStation Portable) device. MP4 files are also multimedia container files and have become the most popular file type for playback on portable devices. You can convert AVI to MP4 with the aid of a purchased or free file conversion program, or by uploading the AVI file to a file conversion website.

Using Conversion Software

  1. Research free file conversion software. File conversion software can be downloaded and used to convert AVI to MP4. User and editor reviews may help you to select your best option to convert AVI to MP4. Some software options that you might consider include:

  2. Purchase or download the file conversion program you select and install it on your computer. While free file software is clearly preferable, understand that you may need professional (paid) software if your output needs are extremely specific in terms of codec, size and other factors.
  3. Open the program and read any instructions or tutorials. If you downloaded the program online without paying for it, consult appropriate forums for pointers or post on forums with specific questions you may have.
  4. Import the AVI file into the program for file conversion according to the program instructions. Most programs have either an "Add files" option, or will let you drag and drop the file(s) manually onto the conversion screen.
  5. Choose MP4 as the output format. Add any applicable parameters for size, resolution, codec and other factors in the Settings menu, if your program has one.
  6. Choose the output file destination directory and name (optional). Open the drop-down Output Folder and select the destination where you want the converted file to be retrievable from. Skip this step if you want to use the default location for converted files.
    • Choose output file nomenclature that will help you find and retrieve files easily.
  7. Start your file conversion as directed in the application.

Using a File Conversion Website

  1. Find a website that supports online file conversions and upload the AVI file. Check the website for any parameter limitations, which online free services often have.
  2. Choose MP4 as the output format.
  3. Customize the output file settings for the AVI to MP4 conversion, if necessary.
  4. Enter your email address to receive and download the output file.
  5. Read and accept the terms of use (if they are acceptable to you).
  6. Click where indicated to start the file conversion.
  7. Check your email for notification that the AVI to MP4 conversion is complete.
  8. Download the converted MP4 file.

Tips

  • File conversion programs that support batch conversion will save you a significant amount of time, because they can convert more than one file at a time..
  • Many file conversion programs or websites have "wizard" features to help you select the best output settings for the playback device you plan to use.
  • Save your AVI files if they are larger and less compressed than the output MP4 files. If you need to do additional conversions in the future, you will want to use the highest quality source file possible for best results.

Warnings

  • Use caution in choosing a program or website to convert your AVI to MP4 files. In addition to advertising clutter and pop-ups, some programs are advertised as "free," but are trial versions that will only allow you to convert partial files until you pay for the full version.
  • Read carefully any terms and conditions for software and file conversion services.
  • Be cautious about downloading additional toolbars or other features.
