Both WMV and AVI are Microsoft's media formats designed to store audio/video (AV) data and they are two of the most popular choices when it comes to storing video files on personal computers. The main difference between these two formats, besides the fact that AVI is a bit older than WMV, is that, even though WMV files offer better compression rates and video quality, AVI files are supported by a lot of applications across different platforms while WMV files are mainly used on Windows-based systems. Therefore, converting your WMV video files into AVI format can be a good idea if you want to transfer your favorite movies on another platform or if your favorite video player or editor doesn't offer support for WMV.
A good example of an applications that can help you convert your WMV files into AVI videos is the WinX Free WMV to AVI Converter 5.0 (Freeware) by Digiarty Software, Inc.. I have chosen this program because of its simple interface, batch conversion capabilities and the fact that it is free to use.
