Convert AVI to AU

There are strong reasons to convert AVI to AU:

Embedding support: AU Audio files embed cleanly in websites, documents, and presentations without requiring additional plugins or viewers.

Feature support: AU Audio supports simple format with wide Unix/Linux tool support, which may not be available or optimal in the AVI Video format.

Metadata handling: AU Audio has robust metadata support, allowing you to embed titles, tags, and descriptions that travel with the file.

Industry standard: In many audio workflows, AU Audio has become the go-to format, making this conversion a frequent necessity.

API and automation: Many automated workflows and APIs expect AU Audio as input, making this conversion necessary for programmatic processing.

Converting AVI to AU with Xonvert is straightforward:

1. Upload source — Drop your AVI file onto this page. Works with files from any location on your device.
2. Verify and adjust — Check that the source was detected correctly. Tweak advanced options if you're an experienced user.
3. Process — Click Convert. Xonvert's engine handles the AVI to AU transformation in-browser.
4. Save output — Your AU file downloads with the original name and new extension. Ready for immediate use.

Real-world quality depends on three factors: source file quality, format capabilities, and encoder settings. Xonvert optimizes the third factor automatically, but starting with the best possible AVI Video source always yields the best AU Audio output. Does not natively support variable frame rate or B-frames When this data is re-encoded into AU Audio, Supports mu-law, A-law and linear PCM encoding Xonvert accounts for these differences to maintain visual and structural integrity. Color accuracy is a priority in this conversion. Xonvert maintains data integrity across the format boundary. The output closely matches your original.

Extracting audio from AVI Video video to AU Audio format strips the video track and saves only the audio content. This is perfect for extracting music from music videos, saving podcast audio from video recordings, or creating audio-only versions of lectures and presentations. The audio quality depends on the original video's audio track bitrate and codec.

Important: Converting from lossy AVI to lossless AU does not restore previously discarded data. The output perfectly preserves your current file quality without adding further degradation, but quality lost during the original AVI encoding cannot be recovered.
