About formats

Xvid is an open-source video codec that implements the MPEG-4 Part 2 Advanced Simple Profile standard, developed and maintained by volunteer programmers under the GNU GPL license. The project originated in 2001 as a fork of the OpenDivX codebase after DivX, Inc. closed the source of their codec, and the original name is DivX spelled backwards as a nod to this history. Xvid achieved widespread adoption in the early-to-mid 2000s as a free alternative to the commercial DivX codec, offering comparable or sometimes superior compression quality without any licensing costs. The codec excels at compressing full-length video into remarkably small files while preserving good visual quality, using techniques such as adaptive quantization, quarter-pixel motion compensation, global and local motion estimation, and custom quantization matrices. Xvid-encoded video is typically stored in AVI containers, though it can also be wrapped in MKV, MP4, and other formats. The codec gained certification for playback on many standalone DVD players and media devices that supported DivX playback, since both codecs share the underlying MPEG-4 ASP standard. Cross-platform availability covering Windows, Linux, macOS, and other operating systems, combined with a completely free and open-source nature, made Xvid a cornerstone of community-driven video encoding. While H.264 and newer codecs have largely replaced MPEG-4 ASP for new encoding, Xvid remains in use for compatibility with older hardware and in legacy media collections.

MAUD is an audio file format developed by MacroSystem for the Commodore Amiga platform, introduced in the early 1990s as part of their digital video and audio production tools. Built on the Amiga IFF (Interchange File Format) chunk architecture, MAUD files organize data into clearly delineated chunks — MHDR for the header, MDAT for sample data, and optional annotation chunks for metadata. The format supports mono and stereo layouts with bit depths of 8 or 16 bits and sample rates up to 48 kHz, which represented professional-grade specifications on Amiga hardware. Both signed linear PCM and A-law/mu-law encodings are available, offering a choice between fidelity and file size. MAUD saw primary use in the Amiga video production community, where MacroSystem Retina and VLab Motion boards demanded synchronized audio that the standard 8SVX format could not deliver. Conversion support exists today through SoX and libsndfile, ensuring vintage Amiga productions remain recoverable. Three distinct advantages stand out: clean IFF-based structure that any chunk-aware parser can navigate, 16-bit stereo capability ahead of typical Amiga audio, and lightweight overhead that left maximum CPU headroom for video rendering.
Initial release: 1992

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert XVID to MAUD?

Since XVID has outdated compression and declining player support, converting to MAUD gives you classic Amiga ecosystem playback across more platforms.

How do I open a MAUD file?

MAUD opens easily in retro Amiga audio software or SoX for conversion. Just double-click the file or drag it into the player of your choice.

How long does the conversion take?

Conversion speed depends on the XVID file size and chosen quality settings. Most files process within seconds to a couple of minutes.

What devices can play MAUD?

MAUD playback requires compatible software on your desktop or laptop. Check the recommended apps above to find the right player for your system.

Is any software installation required?

No. The entire XVID to MAUD conversion runs in your browser via convertio.tools. Nothing to download or install on your machine.

Can I convert multiple XVID to MAUD at once?

Absolutely. Upload several XVID files and convert them all to MAUD in one batch — each processes independently.
