WMV
WMV is a popular video format designed primarily for Windows devices. You can upload WMV files to Facebook and YouTube, but not to mobile-based social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. WMV files can be opened on Windows Media Player or any other native video player on a Windows operating system.
It is a popular storage format for third-party programs storing short animations. Windows Media Video (WMV) files are not compatible with Apple devices like iPhones. All WMV files must be converted before they can be played on Apple's QuickTime Player.
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.
