AVS Video Editor offers the opportunity to save the created movie to several common video formats. Among them:

• AVI
  AVI is short for "Audio Video Interleave", the original Microsoft file format for Microsoft's Video for Windows standard. It is an audio video standard designed by Microsoft and is apparently proprietary and Microsoft Windows specific. It is a format developed for storing video and audio information. Files in this format have an .AVI extension. These files are limited to 320 x 240 resolution, and 30 frames per second, neither of which is adequate for full screen, full motion video. However, Video for Windows does not require any special hardware, making it the lowest common denominator for multimedia applications.
• MPEG
  MPEG (.mpg or .mpeg) - Gives excellent compression with little loss in quality of the video. MPEG supports three types of data - video, audio and streaming. There are a number of standards: among them there are two flavors of MPEG available today. MPEG-1 was designed to provide VHS video quality and CD audio quality at a combined data rate of 150 kilobytes per second. MPEG-1 is displayed at 30 frames per second in a frame that is 352x240 (horizontal x vertical) pixels in size. This allows relatively high quality video images to be stored in relatively small file sizes for playback across computer networks or CD-ROM delivery. MPEG-2 is the other side of the compression coin. It is a broadcast standard specifying a playback size of 720 x 480 pixels at 60 fields per second. Data rates can range from 2 to 10 megabits per second. This means large file sizes and data rates that require specialized hardware for playback. MPEG-2 is one of the core compression technologies for DVD. See the MPEG site for more information.
• WMV
  Windows Media (.wmv or .asf) - This is Microsoft's new standard for audio and video which is closely tied with the Windows Operating System. The player is able to play Windows Media Video (.wmv) and Advanced Streaming Format (.asf) files, and also other formats such as QuickTime, AVI, MPEG and MP3. See the Windows Media site for more information.
• RM
  RealMedia (.rm) provides one of the oldest and most widespread (85% of all web-accessing computers have RealPlayer installed) Web delivery formats. The RealMedia files (.rm) can be viewed using RealPlayer 3 and above. For more information see the RealNetworks site and their user information site.
• MOV
  QuickTime describes a format for the creation and distribution of video, audio and other formats. Although now an ISO standard, it was initially developed by Apple Inc. for use in Macintosh computers. Although it comes with the System software distribution, it is updated periodically by Apple. For more information see Apple site.
• 3GP
  3GP is a file format which is used in mobile phones to store media (audio and video). This file format is a simpler version of "ISO 14496-1 (MPEG-4) Media Format", which is similar to MOV (used by QuickTime). 3GP stores video as MPEG-4 or H.263. Audio is stored in AMR-NB or AAC-LC formats. 3GPP also describes image sizes and bandwidth, so content is correctly sized for mobile display screens. The term "3GPP specification" covers all GSM (including GPRS and EDGE) and W-CDMA specifications. The following terms are also used to describe networks using the 3G specifications: UTRAN, UMTS (in Europe) and FOMA (in Japan). More information can be found on The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) web site.
• MP4
  MP4 is the global file extension for the MPEG-4 container format including all kinds of multimedia content (video, natural and synthetic audio, 2D and 3D graphics, animated avatars, user interactivity, etc.) that can be streamed over any kind of connection or network. It exploits two primary coding strategies to reduce the amount of data needed to convey high-quality digital audio: removing the signal components that are "perceptually irrelevant" and can be discarded without a perceived loss of audio quality and eliminating the redundancies in the coded audio signal. Usual bitrates values are 64 - 256 kbps.
