What is MTV?
MTV is file format supposedly created to allow video playback capabilities on inexpensive Chinese-made portable MP4 players without increasing the cost of those players with the license royalties (and more processor power). These Chinese MP4/MTV Player (sold as "MP4 Player" or "PMP", for Personal Media Player) are flash-based digital audio players, mostly manufactured in China and capable of displaying images, videos, and text files. Although commonly called MP4 players, are unable to play true MP4 (MPEG-4 AVC H.264) formated videos and are limited to proprietary formats such as this one and AMV.

The format operates by displaying a series of raw uncompressed rgb565/555 image frames while playing MP3 audio but as the files are of low resolution and frame rate, sizes are comparable to MPEG-1 or MPEG-2. (in a bytes-per-minute sense). Encoding and decoding are less processor-intensive than other contemporary formats, as in fact very little "encoding" is actually done.

The MTV format consists of a 512 byte file header, followed by alternating audio and image blocks. Audio frame data is not necessarily aligned on block boundaries and each one of them has from 1 to n subblocks of 512 bytes each with 'n' remaining constant through the entire file/stream. The first 12 bytes of each audio subblock is padding data and is always set to 0. Image data, on the other hand, is perfectly contained in each image data block, each one representing an entire frame.

During decoding of the video stream, the audio frames are passed to the MP3 hardware decoder, while the memory pointer of the display hardware is simply adjusted to the next raw image within the video stream. While this concept does not require additional * hardware for the decoding process, it leads to huge memory requirements as no compression is applied to the image frame data.

What is AVI?
Audio Video Interleave, known by its acronym AVI, is a multimedia container format introduced by Microsoft in November 1992 as part of its Video for Windows technology. AVI files can contain both audio and video data in a file container that allows synchronous audio-with-video playback. Like the DVD video format, AVI files support multiple streaming audio and video, although these features are seldom used. Most AVI files also use the file format extensions developed by the Matrox OpenDML group in February 1996. These files are supported by Microsoft, and are unofficially called "AVI 2.0".

There is slight overhead when used with popular MPEG-4 codecs (Xvid and DivX, for example), increasing file size more than necessary. The AVI container has no native support for modern MPEG-4 features like B-Frames. Hacks are sometimes used to enable modern MPEG-4 features and subtitles, however, this is the source of playback incompatibilities.
