In a
Type-1 AVI
, the whole DV stream is stored unmodified as one
AVI stream. In a
Type-2 AVI
, on the other hand, the DV stream is
split into separate video and audio data, which are stored as two
streams in the AVI.
The advantage of Type-1 is that the DV data does not need to be
processed, and is stored in its exact original format. The advantage
of Type-2 is that it is compatible with video software that is not
specially written to recognize and process Type-1 files.
