AVI Viewer

The tool accepts AVI files via local upload or URL input and parses the RIFF/AVI container to extract structural data. It reports duration, total frames, frame rate, video resolution, audio tracks, and common codecs such as Xvid and DivX. It also exposes stream-wise details (video vs audio) and flags non-standard chunks to aid debugging in archival workflows.
In-browser operation is non-destructive: no transcoding or data modification occurs. The system computes a metadata object and can generate a frame sample thumbnail or a short preview for validation. Outputs are designed to feed automation pipelines or UI dashboards without requiring external plugins.
Intended users include QA engineers, video production teams, digital archivists, and developers validating ingest pipelines. The tool reduces time to determine compatibility, flag missing or corrupted frames, and verify that the file adheres to expected specifications before proceeding with storage or playback workflows.
Key differentiators include robust AVI header parsing without plugins, precise duration calculation across multiple streams, robust error reporting for corrupted headers, and exportable metadata suitable for batch checks. The tool handles large files efficiently in the browser, supports both local and URL sources, and avoids transcoding to preserve original content.
