Convert DRC to AVI

DRC to AVI Software converts DRC to AVI quickly. Besides AVI, the converter could convert DRC to common video formats and portable devices, for example, VOB, AVI, iPod, MPEG, H.264, MP4, Xvid, WMV, 3GP, 3G2, and so on.

The converter is an all-in-one video converter that supports more than 100 video and audio file formats and converts to 40 popular formats. It could convert M4V to AVI, VOB to Xvid, EVOB to 3GP, EVOB to BlackBerry, MP4 to OGV, M2T to OGV, H261 to MP4, WMD to MPEG, and so on.

DRC to AVI Software supports batch conversion and is full compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit editions Vista and Windows 7.

DRC to AVI Software is compatible with Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP, 2008, 2003, and 2000

What is DRC?
Dirac Video. Dirac is an open and royalty-free video compression format, specification and system developed by BBC Research at the BBC. Schrodinger and dirac-research (formerly just called 'Dirac') are open and royalty-free software implementations (video codecs) of Dirac. Dirac format aims to provide high-quality video compression from web video up to ultra HD and beyond, and as such competes with existing formats such as H.264 and VC-1.

The specification was finalised on 21 January 2008, and further developments will only be bug fixes and constraints. In September of that year version 1.0.0 of the reference implementation was released which corresponds to an intra-frame only subset known as Dirac Pro, which has been proposed to the SMPTE for standardisation as VC-2. Version 2.2.3 of the full Dirac specification, including motion compensation and inter-frame coding, was issued a few days later. Dirac Pro was used internally by the BBC to transmit HDTV pictures at the Beijing Olympics in 2008.

The format implementations are named in honour of the theoretical physicists Paul Dirac and Erwin Schrodinger, who shared the 1933 Nobel Prize in physics.

Dirac supports resolutions up to HDTV (1920x1080) and greater and is claimed to provide significant savings in data rate and improvements in quality over video compression formats such as MPEG-2 Part 2, MPEG-4 Part 2 and its competitors, e.g. Theora, and WMV. Dirac's implementers make the preliminary claim of "a two-fold reduction in bit rate over MPEG-2 for high definition video", which makes it comparable to the latest generation standards such as H.264/MPEG-4 AVC and VC-1.

Dirac supports both constant bit rate and variable bit rate operation. When the low delay syntax is used, the bit rate will be constant for each area (Dirac slice) in a picture to ensure constant latency. Dirac supports lossy and lossless compression modes.

Dirac employs wavelet compression, instead of the discrete cosine transforms used in most older compression formats. Dirac is one of several projects attempting to apply wavelets to video compression. Others include Rududu, Snow, RedCode and Tarkin. Wavelet compression is also used in the JPEG 2000 and PGF compression standards for photographic images.

Dirac can be used in various container formats (e.g., AVI, Ogg, MKV). It was registered for the use in container formats based on the ISO base media file format (MPEG-4 Part 12; e.g., MP4). It was also registered for use in MPEG-2 transport stream.

What is AVI?
Audio Video Interleave, known by its acronym 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".

There is slight overhead when used with popular MPEG-4 codecs (Xvid and DivX, for example), increasing file size more than necessary. The AVI container has no native support for modern MPEG-4 features like B-Frames. Hacks are sometimes used to enable modern MPEG-4 features and subtitles, however, this is the source of playback incompatibilities.
