I tried opening videos file .avi format,with notepad++ and i found many weird characters in it.I copied all the charaters in the file and paste it on another notepad++ file and save it as new.avi.Now, i tried playing the new.avi file with VLC media player but the file did not play.why?
I thought that movie or video file also consists of characters like text file only the media player software convert it to play in the correct way.
Is video file not made of charaters and the information are stored differently from text or any other file?.Can someone please clear my concept on this?
