How to Play AVI Files on iPad Pro/mini/Air

Audio Video Interleaved, known as AVI, is a multimedia format introduced by Microsoft. It has its days in the early 20th century majorly because of the possibility of ripping movies from DVD disc into computer hard drive. And it is still wildly used to this day.

If you have a great deal of videos in AVI format, then playing them on an iPad or iPad Pro/mini/Air could be fascinating. AVI is one of the default iPad playable video formats, but the codec (a program capable of encoding or decoding a digital data) is confined to M-JPEG, 1280 by 720 pixels, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format. For short, most of AVI videos won't be playable on your iPad.
