Drop one AVI or two hundred. Batch conversion is not a paid feature here.
Old camcorder footage, a ripped disc or a downloaded file from the 2000s is an AVI, and nothing modern will play it.
The obsolete codecs inside, usually DivX, Xvid, MPEG-4 Part 2 or uncompressed video, are re-encoded to H.264 and the audio, often MP3 or PCM, is re-encoded to AAC. Files typically shrink dramatically.
AVI has no standard way to store variable frame rate or modern timestamps, so video captured from a screen recorder or an old phone can drift out of sync during conversion. If the audio slips progressively rather than by a constant offset, the source frame rate is the cause.
H.264 is fifteen to twenty years newer than the codecs typically found in AVI files, and far more efficient at the same quality.
No. The quality ceiling was set when they were made. Converting stops the compatibility problem, not the softness.

MPEG-4 Video is lossy, so the quality control decides the trade between size and fidelity.
Instant, because the file never went anywhere. Nothing expires, since nothing was stored.
