Converting to PNG won't restore lost quality
Your AVI file has already undergone lossy compression. Converting to PNG preserves what's left — it prevents further degradation from re-saving — but it will not magically sharpen a blurry image or recover discarded audio frequencies.
Some metadata may not survive
Your AVI file may contain RIFF chunks metadata. PNG has limited or no support for these metadata types. Location data (GPS), camera settings, and color profiles may be stripped during conversion.
