AVI to Windows Phone 8 - Convert AVI files for WP8

Summaruy: The easy workaround to get Windows Phone 8 recognizing AVI (XviD or DivX) files is to convert AVI to MP4 which ensures the smooth playback with WP 8.



Anyone know of an app that can play AVI/DIVX files on my Windows Phone 8? Something like VLC on the iPhone?

AVI means Audio Video Interleave or Interleaved. It is a video container format that contains audio and video data for synchronous playback purposes. In many cases, AVI uses codecs like XviD and DivX in order to compress and create files. Other than the Windows Media Player, this format can also be processed by third-party media players like the VLC Player, MPlayer, and the KMPlayer.

However, it appears that the AVI files will not play on your Windows Phone 8 like Nokia Lumia 920 anyway. Although you can sync AVi files onto your Windows Phone using Windows Media Player, but only some files get converted in the process and ends up playable on the handset; others (that, again, play fine in WMP) won't play. Or you can also drag and drop AVI files onto Windows Phone 8 directly in Windows Explorer on my Windows 7 computer, and the files will appear in the Music+Video app, but they won't play (even though of course they play fine in Windows Media Player on the computer) anyway. In conclusion, I think expecting to be able to sync and play AVI video on Windows Phone 8 gadgets without using third-party apps is misguided.

Fortunately, there is an easy way to fix the issue. The easy workaround to get AVI files work with Windows Phone 8 is to convert AVI tinto another type as doing so would fit your purpose. Along with a professional AVI converter, you can achieve your goal smoothly.

In usual, the MTS footage from Sony, Panasonic, Canon AVCHD camcorders is encoded with H.264/AVC codec. The advanced compression method of H.264 results in much less storage and the same picture quality comparing with MPEG-4. However, the highly-compressed content is not so friendly for editing software. Then, how to get Sony Vegas Pro working perfectly with AVCHD MTS footage? A best way is to convert MTS files to MPEG-2, something ensuring maximum editing quality and efficiency when working with Vegas Pro.

With it you can shot videos with Canon's XF Codec -a file-based MPEG-2 compression with an MXF File Wrapper.

Here you can download and apply Brorsoft MXF Converter for Mac to achieve the goal in a fast way.

It offers the optimal preset profiles for, Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro, iMovie, FCE, Final Cut Pro 6/7 and FCP X and more. And there is no need to worry about the quality loss. For Windows user, MXF Converter is the choice.

Converting Canon C500 MXF to DNxHD for Avid media Composer

Step 1: Install and launch the Canon MXF to Avid converter Mac. Click Add button to load individual videos for converting.



Step 2: Click Format preset and choose Avid Media Composer -> Avid DNxHD (*.mov)” as the best video format for editing Canon MXF files in Avid as well as good video quality.

Step 3: Hit “Convert” button to start Canon C500 MXF to DNxHD .mov conversion. You can follow the conversion process from the pop-up windows.
