How to convert exe to avi file

  • Video

This conversion (or any other similar exe to video conversion) is mainly searched by users that would like to convert Flash videos (made for example with Flash Projector) to the original source video, which in case of exe to avi conversion is AVI format. 

The process usually follows the pattern of recovering SWF video (.swf) from the executable (.exe) via one of the many available SWF tools (check out exe to swf conversion entry) and conversion of the said .swf file to any of the desired video formats, in this particular case using swf to avi converters.

You can also try to use some screen recording tool, open and play the .exe file (with the video) and capture it again to actual video file. Not perfect, but at least doable. The resulting quality may not be the same as the original though.

In any case, you should be always extremely vigilant when dealing with unknown .exe files, you can easily infest your whole computer and in the era of ransomware potentially compromise your valuable files.

Understanding EXE and AVI file formats

The EXE file format is an executable file format used primarily in Windows operating systems. It contains a program that can be executed by the computer to perform a specific task or function. EXE files are not multimedia files and do not contain video or audio data.

The AVI (Audio Video Interleave) file format is a multimedia container format introduced by Microsoft. It is used to store both video and audio data in a single file, allowing for synchronized playback of audio and video streams.

Converting EXE to AVI

Converting an EXE file to an AVI file is not a straightforward process because these file formats serve entirely different purposes. An EXE file is an executable program, while an AVI file is a multimedia format. However, if the EXE file contains a video or animation that you wish to extract and convert to AVI, you can use screen recording software to capture the video playback.

Best software for EXE to AVI conversion

To convert the content of an EXE file to an AVI format, you can use screen recording software such as OBS Studio or Camtasia. These tools allow you to record the screen while the EXE file is running, capturing the video output and saving it as an AVI file.

Here’s a simple way to do it using OBS Studio:

  • Download and install OBS Studio.
  • Open OBS Studio and set up a new screen recording session.
  • Run the EXE file to start the program you wish to capture.
  • In OBS Studio, click Start Recording to begin capturing the screen.
  • Once the recording is complete, click Stop Recording.
  • The recorded video will be saved in the specified output folder as an AVI file.
