What actually changes
MOV and AVI are not the same picture in two wrappers.
The QuickTime streams are decoded and re-encoded into codecs AVI supports, typically Xvid video with MP3 audio.
Worth knowing first
AVI cannot carry a variable frame rate, and iPhone and screen-recorded MOV files frequently have one. Converting forces a constant rate, which either drops frames or duplicates them, and long clips drift out of sync as a result.
Questions
MOV to AVI, answered
Is there a way to avoid the sync drift?
Convert with an explicit constant frame rate and let the tool resample properly rather than just relabelling the timestamps.
Should I use AVI at all?
Only when a specific tool requires it. MP4 is better in every measurable way.
