Free AVI Video Converter is a freeware video conversion tool for Windows.

Free AVI Video Converter is Windows freeware, which means that you can download and use it without cost or restrictions. The goal of the program is to convert video files in the AVI format to other formats, and the program supports MP4, MKV, 3GP and more.

There are two types of conversion available. The first simply changes the container and doesn’t actually affect the underlying source. This conversion is very fast and convenient when the basic AVI format isn’t playing nice with a particular device. You’re also able to make changes to the underlying video and can alter it to another container or even convert it into a new AVI.

One reason you may want to convert AVI to AVI is to dictate file size. Perhaps the current size is too big, and when dealing with the already decreased video quality of a compressed format, sometimes small changes to quality can make a big difference in file size. Some of the options available to you include video quality, resolution, frame rate and the sample rate of audio.

Perhaps the main downside to Free AVI Video Converter is that it has such a narrow focus. If that focus happens to fit what you’re seeking to achieve, then it’s a nice option. Otherwise, there are many other free video conversion tools on the market that work with more input and output formats and offer a range of other options.

Another point to consider is that technical support and built-in help files are almost non-existent. The program is no longer actively supported, and it’s never had any real manual included. If you need clarity or run into a problem, you may be out of luck or need to hunt the Web for that assistance.
