The AVI file container is one of the most popular containers for digital video files. A common problem with AVI files is that their index becomes corrupted. The index is used to seek through the file and to properly time the audio track with the video track. If an AVI file’s index is corrupted, it will cause the video to freeze, stutter or otherwise cease to function. While many AVI players will automatically repair the index, others do not and will require the use of a third-party repair utility. Writer Bio
