Those are "Version" tags, used to help differentiate from otherwise identical releases. Originally it was added because groups release "version 2" of the same episode in order to fix various problems.

The tags are normally taken from the torrent file names. Often we get "DVD", "HQ", "LQ", "MKV", "XviD", "AVI", "h264", etc. tags on files and we'll add them if they help visitors pick between releases. We've had, and still do have, some inconsistencies in how we add them and what we add. Taking your example we've often mixed and matched the use of AVI and XviD, even though they are two completely different things. Normally we go with what was in the file name, but human error can result in "AVI" being added to something with "XviD" (where say, another copy of the same episode might be "h264") because it is an AVI file, or visa-versa.
