1. Normalized Version(s) Creation

No normalized version will be created for AVI 1.0 files.


Each video/audio stream contained in the AVI file will be normalized according to the Action Plan for FCLA Supported Video/Audio Stream Formats. If the encoded video/audio stream is not in the list of FCLA supported video/audio stream formats, the video/audio stream will not be normalized and it will be preserved as bit-level.


2. Long-term Preservation Strategy


2.1 Long-term Preservation Strategy for the Original

Migrate to newer AVI versions or to an open, standardized and well supported multimedia file format that is to be a good successor for the AVI file format.


2.2 Long-term Preservation Strategy for the Normalized Version(s)

Not applicable for AVI 1.0 file format. For the normalized video and audio stream formats, please see the Action Plan for FCLA Supported Video/Audio Stream Formats.
