Convert MKV to AVI – Ensure Compatibility with Older Devices & Software

Converting MKV to AVI helps ensure your video files can be played smoothly on older devices, DVD players, and legacy editing tools. While MKV is a modern, feature-rich format, it’s not universally supported—especially on older systems. AVI (Audio Video Interleave), however, remains widely compatible. With Evano’s MKV to AVI converter, you can quickly convert your videos online—free, secure, and without installing any software.

🎯 What is MKV and AVI?

What is an MKV File?

MKV (Matroska Video) is a flexible multimedia format that supports high-definition video, multiple audio/subtitle tracks, and metadata. It's ideal for modern media libraries but may not work on some older players or devices.

What is an AVI File?

AVI is a traditional video container developed by Microsoft. It’s known for its wide compatibility with both media players and video editing tools—even on older systems or software that doesn’t support newer formats.

🔎 Why Convert MKV to AVI?

• Legacy Device Support: AVI files play smoothly on older TVs, DVD players, and outdated media software.
• Editing Compatibility: AVI is still preferred by many older video editors and non-linear editing systems.
• Simpler Playback: AVI files don't require specialised codecs or apps—ideal for basic media needs.
