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 by 1992 from Microsoft, it is the standard video format for Windows systems. The file contains audio and video using a variety of encoders, such as DivX and XviD.
AVI uses less compressure για την αποθήκευση αρχείων και καταλαμβάνει περισσότερο χώρο από πολλές άλλες μορφές βίντεο, όπως τις MPEG και MOV. Τα αρχεία AVI μπορούν επίσης να δημιουργηθούν και χωρίς τη χρήση συμπίεσης. Αυτό καθιστά τα αρχεία χωρίς απώλειες, με αποτέλεσμα πολύ μεγαλύτερα μεγέθη αρχείων. Ένα αρχείο χωρίς απώλειες δεν θα χάσει την ποιότητά του με την πάροδο του χρόνου, ανεξάρτητα από το πόσες φορές το ανοίγετε ή το αποθηκεύετε (bad sectors ή γενικότερα προβλήματα στο δίσκο). Επιπλέον, επιτρέπει την αναπαρtreatment without using codecs.
AVI is a proprietary mark created by Microsoft, so if you plan to open a file on a non-Windows system, you'll need some application.
If you're using Windows, you can double-click the file to open it with Windows Media Player. If for some reason that doesn't work, you can right-click on the file, bring up the "Open with" menu, and then click on "Windows Media Player" or whatever application you're using.
If you're using macOS or Linux, things are not that easy, as these platforms do not have built-in applications with AVI support. You should download an application and of course we recommend VLC Player. It's fast, free, open source and you can use it in 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.
