Information about AVI and AVI File Recovery
Information about AVI file-Audio Video Interleaved (also Audio Video Interleave), known by its initials AVI, is a multimedia container format introduced by Microsoft in November 1992 as part of its Video for Windows technology. AVI files can contain both audio and video data in a file container that allows synchronous audio-with-video playback. Like the DVD video format, AVI files support multiple streaming audio and video, although these features are seldom used. Most AVI files also use the file format extensions developed by the Matrox OpenDML group in February 1996. These files are supported by Microsoft, and are unofficially called "AVI 2.0".
Causes of AVI Files Loss
●‘Format error’, ‘write error’, ‘read error’, ‘unknown error’ (with the temporary freeze in the screen).
●The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.
●There might be a problem with some files on this device or disc.
●‘memory card error’ or ‘ card cannot be used’
●‘please insert disk to the drive’ or ‘no files found’
●USB drive not recognized
These error messages may be warnings of the corruption of data. Logical damage (drive is recognized, but video is not accessible) and physical damage (no recognition of drive, normally caused by power interruption or electrostatic discharge) are major reasons for the loss, damage or formatting of the AVI files. Since the lost AVI files might be useful for family or business needs, we need to recover them strongly. This moment, our high-efficiency recovery software-uFlysoft recovery tool can solve the problem and perform AVI file recovery easily.
Operate AVI file Recovery
When you delete AVI files and even empty them from the Recycle Bin, they are not gone forever. Actually such deletion just frees space for other data, whereas the removed file info still remains on the hard drive. If the disk or memory card where the lost AVI files were stored before has been overwritten, you will have little chance to recover them. So it is very necessary to avoid data overwriting. And we can recover deleted AVI files by using uFlysoft recovery software. Here are the solutions.
1. Download uFlysoft Photo Recovery for Mac first, don’t worry, it’s totally free for downloading. After that, install it on your Mac. (If you are a Windows OS user, have a try on uFlysoft Photo Recovery for Windows.)
2. Launch the program and select your disk or you memory card where your lost AVI files were stored to scan. Then it will scan your drive deeply and completely to seek the lost AVI files.
3. After scanning finished, click the “Recover” button, you will be asked where you want to store the files. DO NOT save the recovered lies to the same path where the lost files were stored before.
After all of these, you will get back your lost AVI files again. What’s more, not only AVI file recovery software, uFlysoft Photo Recovery for Mac can also recover all types of media files such as audio, video files for you with ease.
