AVI is a standard video format. Files can be quite large, but the quality is good. AVI is for people who want quality over speed. If you need Video for Windows, which allows you to see .AVI files, Click Here. Many of you already have this capability in your installation of Windows. |
VIV is a new format that requires a free player. Files are greatly compressed,
which sacrifices some video quality, but the files download much more quickly
and play while they download.
