Why convert MP4 to FLV?

Supply an FLV video when a specific older application requires it. The converter changes the video and audio encoding.

  • Why leave MP4. Choose FLV when your app or upload destination requires that format.
  • Why use FLV. FLV suits old Flash-era recordings and legacy systems that ask for it.
  • What you get. The FLV output uses FLV video and MP3 audio. Test the file in the older app that asks for it. Keep the original. The converted file can differ in size and metadata, and some apps may still not play it.
  • Qualité. Converting MP4 to FLV compresses the picture again, which can lower its quality a little. It never adds resolution or detail the MP4 did not have.
  • Your rights. Convert only files you own or have permission to use.
