Get some video files with .pvr extension from Wintal PVR-X10A or other PVR Receivers, and want to edit them in Window Movie Maker, Adobe Premiere or Sony Vegas? Or play such PVR files on your phones such as BlackBerry or other devices? Before you get such PVR files, I am afraid that you have seldom heard of it before. It is weird that PVR files are not compatible with such apps or devices. To get the PVR files editable in the apps or devices listed above, you will need to convert PVR to AVI for better video quality.

To transcode .pvr files to .avi format, you just need a PVR to AVI Converter to help you. And here, I highly recommend iOrgsoft Video Converter and Video Converter for Mac to you. The two converters above are used in different platforms but share the similar functions: both can convert PVR video files to AVI format with little quality loss and at fast converting speed. Just download the proper version and follow the guide below to see how to decode PVR videos to AVI on Mac and Windows (Windows 8 included)

Load PVR videos

After running the Video Converter, hit the “Add Files” button to browse and import your PVR videos to the PVR to AVI Converter. Mac version supports dragging and dropping files to the program directly. After importing the files, you can trim, crop or split PVR videos just by clicking the corresponding buttons in the main panel.

Choose output format

Hit the format icon next to the video files and you will see the format list. You can choose AVI from different columns such as common video or HD video. And if you need to import PVR to Window Movie Maker, Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere, or Windows DVD Maker, etc., the presets will make the job very easy for you: just select the target app as output format.
