Frequently Asked Questions

An FLV file (Flash Video) is a one-time trendy video format used for online streaming through Adobe Flash Player. Popular platforms, including YouTube, Facebook, and news sites, used FLV in the 2000s because it allowed fast web playback.

However, Adobe Flash Player was discontinued in 2020, and therefore most browsers and devices no longer support FLV files. If you try to open an FLV video today, it may not play at all or only show sound without video.

FLV is an outdated format created for the Flash plugin. It used old codecs like Sorenson Spark or On2 VP6 for video and Nellymoser for audio. These codecs are no longer native on modern devices.

MP4, on the other hand, employs advanced H.264 or H.265 video compression and AAC audio, making it the global standard for digital video. It is lightweight, high-quality, and compatible with all major platforms.

Therefore, the conversion of FLV to MP4 makes your old FLV videos playable, editable, and shareable anywhere without a single glitch.

When you convert FLV to MP4 with AhaConvert, the converter will re-encode the video and audio with the latest codecs and preserve the original resolution, frame rate, and quality. The FLV container will be replaced by MP4.

After conversion, your new MP4 video file will:

  • Play perfectly on any modern media player and device
  • Open easily in video editors
  • Take up less storage space compared to the original FLV
