Convert MP2 to AVI — Free Online Converter

Converting MP2 to AVI embeds broadcast MPEG Audio Layer 2 in Microsoft's legacy video container. AVI can hold MP2 audio directly or re-encoded to MP3/PCM. Since MP2 was the audio codec for many DVD-Video titles, this conversion is relevant for extracting and re-wrapping DVD audio in AVI format for video editing.

AVI's RIFF-based structure provides universal compatibility with legacy video editors and hardware players. Embedding MP2 or MP2-decoded audio in AVI integrates broadcast content with these established workflows.

Video editors working with DVD content often need the audio in AVI alongside the video. AVI supports MP2 audio directly, so the audio can be muxed without re-encoding. For editors that require MP3 or PCM, the audio is transcoded during AVI creation.

Legacy hardware media players and set-top boxes that play AVI may need broadcast audio in this container. Converting MP2 to AVI (with optional video) creates compatible content for these devices.
