We know all the files with the .avi extension. The name of the extension comes from its initials Audio Video Interleave. AVI is a video format that contains audio and video.
Originally developed the 1992 by Microsoft and is the standard video format for Windows systems. The file contains audio and video using a variety of codecs, including DivX and XviD.
AVI uses less compression to store files and takes up more space than many other video formats, such as MPEG and MOV. AVI files can also be created without the use of compression. This makes files uninterrupted, resulting in much larger file sizes. A lossless file will not lose its quality over time, no matter how many times you open it or store it (bad sectors or general disk problems). In addition, it allows playback without encoders.
AVI is a proprietary trademark created by Microsoft, so if you plan to open a file on a non-Windows-based system, you'll need an application.
If you're using Windows, you can double-click the file to open it with Windows Media Player. If for some reason this doesn't work, you can right-click the file, bring up the “Open with” menu, and then click “Windows media Player” or in any other application you use.
If you are using macOS or Linux, things are not so easy as these platforms they don't have built-ins applications με υποστήριξη AVI. Θα πρέπει να κατεβάσετε μια εφαρμογή και φυσικά συστήνουμε το vlc Player. It's fast, free, open source, and you can use it on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.

And I agree that if the disc is damaged then no video can not be seen, nor a photo on it.
However, the new avi files have such strong encoders that they make them better compressed than mpeg, mov….
I read in your article that they do not lose their quality as many times as we open or store it.
Does MPEG lose quality over time and use?
The lossless files I mentioned for the lossless file. Avi can be compressed as lossless files. The files do not lose their quality, I should have explained it above, quality can be lost in time with bad sector storage, not by use. I corrected the article, thank you for the labeling.
