Many users prefer downloading files in AVI format as they are easier to transcode in other formats (e.g. VOB which is a DVD format). An AVI file basically contains audio and/or video data for synchronous playback of audio with video. However, the problem with AVI files is that they can be heavier as compared to some other formats. For instance lighter MKV files can be high in quality despite retaining its playback quality, but the the latter often results in transcoding issues and is not supported by many transcoding applications. To avoid AVI files from consuming too much space on your hard drive, a solution can be to compress them with AVI ReComp. It allows re-compressing AVI files and provides the option to insert subtitles for the compressed video. It’s installation pack contains many required components such as VirtualDubMod, AviSynth and Xvid. This way users can compress their downloaded AVI files, compress them and later transcode them for a media device (e.g. DVD) which can enable them to add more media to a single device and conserve hard disk space for the stored files. AVI ReComp provides detailed information about the encoded file and also provides video tweaking options like cropping of black borders of the video. Read More

PhotoLapse is a free portable tool for Windows that can create a movie in avi format from large sequence of jpg images. All you have to do is to browse the directories where the images are located and add them to the list. Next, you can check/uncheck the images that you would like to include/not include in the video. You can also mark every 2nd, 3rd, or any number of frame, which makes it easier to include less images in the video, thus saving the total video size.
