What is AVC file?
AVC stands for Advanced Video Coding, and it is a way to compress video. It was introduced in 2003 and was the successor to MPEG-2. The MPEG-4 AVC codec offers better compression than MPEG-2, which results in higher quality content with more detail. A major advantage of the AVC codec is that it can be used on any device without transcoding. The data contained in an MPEG-4 AVC file (.avi) is composed of two parts: the intraframe compressed frames stored as headerless bitstreams and the residual frames stored as packed macroblocks.
