AVI
AVI is the most compatible video format for Windows devices. You can upload it to Facebook and YouTube, but not to other mobile-based social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. AVI files tend to be larger in size (because they use less compression than video formats like MP4).
The most compatible media player for AVI videos is VLC. AVI is not compatible with QuickTime (the default player on Apple devices). AVI stands for Audio Video Interleave. AVI files can contain audio and video content, as well as codecs for DVD and XVid.
WAV
WAV files store audio content "without" any compression. This makes them much larger than other file types. Although WAV files can take lots of space to store, they also store audio in high quality. This makes them useful for heavy-use audio storage like professional music recording. WAV files are widely used and can be opened on Windows Media Player, QuickTime Player, VLC, and many more. (The only exception is Linux).
WAV files may also appear as ‘WAVE’ in your folder. They are the same file type, just spelt differently. Developed jointly by Microsoft and IBM, the WAV format stores audio data, track numbers, sample rate and bit rate. Content is stored in segments of uncompressed "chunks".
