MIDI (.midi) represents music in its most abstract digital form — as a time-ordered sequence of performance events that describe what to play rather than how it sounds. The format's channel architecture supports up to 16 simultaneous instrument parts, making it capable of representing full ensemble arrangements in a file smaller than most email signatures. The .midi extension is particularly common in academic and open-source music software ecosystems.
AVI (Audio Video Interleave) was introduced by Microsoft in 1992 as part of the Video for Windows framework. It uses a RIFF container structure to interleave audio and video streams. Converting MIDI to AVI renders the musical score into audio and optionally pairs it with a visual component — such as a scrolling notation display, waveform visualization, or static image — creating a complete multimedia file from pure performance data.
Music education video creators need to pair MIDI-rendered audio with visual elements — animated piano rolls, scrolling sheet music, or chord diagrams — for tutorial content. AVI serves as an intermediate production format in Windows-based video editing pipelines where the rendered MIDI audio is combined with visual elements before final export to MP4 or WebM.
Retro computing enthusiasts and vintage software archivists may need AVI files for compatibility with legacy multimedia applications. Rendering MIDI to AVI with PCM audio ensures playback in Windows Media Player and legacy DirectShow-based applications going back to Windows 95, providing access to the widest possible range of historical Windows systems.
FFmpeg synthesizes the .midi file's event stream into stereo PCM audio using a SoundFont engine. For audio-only AVI output, the PCM or MP3-encoded stream is wrapped in a RIFF AVI container with a single audio stream header, format chunk (WAVEFORMATEX), and interleaved audio data chunks with an AVI 1.0 index (idx1) for seeking. When a background image is included, FFmpeg generates a single-frame video stream (typically MJPEG or uncompressed RGB) alongside the audio, producing a proper audio+video AVI file that satisfies applications requiring both stream types.
The AVI container itself imposes no quality constraints — it is a transparent wrapper. Audio quality is determined by the codec choice within AVI (PCM is lossless, MP3 is lossy at the specified bitrate) and, more fundamentally, by the SoundFont. For music education content where students need to hear individual notes clearly, a SoundFont with bright, well-articulated instrument patches is preferable to one optimized for atmospheric realism. The SoundFont should match the educational purpose: clean piano for keyboard tutorials, clear winds for woodwind exercises.
