AVI
The Audio Video Interleave or AVI is the most compatible video format for Windows devices. It is a multimedia container that contains audio and video content, as well as codecs for DVD and XVid. You can upload it on Facebook and YouTube, but not on other mobile-based social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok.
AVI uses less compression than video formats like MP4 so it tends to be larger in size. The most compatible media player for AVI videos is VLC. It is not compatible with QuickTime, which is made primarily for Apple devices.
SWF
SWF contains videos and vector-based animations. Unfortunately, you cannot upload SWF files on social media and YouTube. It is also not compatible with the most popular media players. But it is great for encoding browser-based games and animations.
SWF or Small Web Format files can be opened on Adobe Flash Player. However, since 2020, Adobe no longer supports the SWF file format due to security issues and recommends users to uninstall or convert SWF files to other video formats such as MP4.
