MPEG-4 AVC Advanced Video Coding Movie Format | N/A | Video Files |
The MPEG-4 AVC .AVC Advanced Video Coding movie file is an audio and video container format developed by the Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG). It is a standardized digital multimedia format with high compression rates and optimized data exchange capabilities. This container format is used for streaming both audio and video files over the Internet and in digital broadcasting systems.
The wide-ranging utility of this format makes it a highly sought-after one for different multimedia applications. The .AVC files are compatible with a number of media players including the NSS Player, VLC and Daum PotPlayer. Most online streaming services, YouTube and other major media are now increasingly relying on this particular format due to its data-compressed nature which ensures faster playback speeds. This file format is patented by MPEG Group, which is why it can be used with a valid licence only.
Similar File Formats
The MPEG-4 AVC extension is closely related to other common file formats, such as the .MP4, .MOV and .M4V, all of which are audio-video formats used offline or for online streaming.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for Android system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .AVC) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .AVC extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .AVC file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .AVC extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .AVC extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .AVC file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .AVC file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .AVC file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .AVC file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .AVC file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
