Two among number of others, including MS Versions 2 & 3,
H264 and x264 (The good free one) , but that is not the point.

AVI can Interleave almost any Audio and Video. In the past,
for many, it was considered synonymous with DV-AVI. Prior
to that it stood for many Windows compatible video and audio
formats. Just saying AVI, means nothing to anyone who has
worked with the various formats.

MPEG 4 can also appear as .mp4 ( in fact in that format AAC
audio can be supported.)
