There are many times you want to export iMovie to AVI file with high quality. You can directly export iMovie to AVI using iMovie expert export mode, but the exported AVI files are usually very large and in low quality, and have playback problem on Windows devices like Windows devices like Windows Media Player, Windows PowerPoint Presation, Xbox media centre machine and Windows Movie Maker etc. What's worse, you sometime even cannot export to .avi successfully if the iMovie project is a little larger. In this case, you need a Mac Video Converter to convert iMovie to AVI. This article will show you these two easy solutions:
Method 1. Directly Export iMovie project to AVI using iMovie '08/'09/'11/HD

From this iMovie share dialog, you are able to choose the file format you want to export to from the Export pop-up menu (Choose "Movie to AVI" rather than the default option "Movie to QuickTime Movie"). Click "Save" and you will get an .avi file from iMovie.
