MP4 to FLV

FLV (Flash Video) format is still required by legacy Flash players, Learning Management System (LMS) modules, RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol) streaming servers, and older web-based video platforms where modern MP4 containers are unsupported. Many educational institutions, corporate intranets, and organizations with existing Flash-based infrastructure continue to rely on FLV format for video delivery. Converting MP4 to FLV ensures compatibility with these legacy systems, allowing you to maintain existing workflows while working with modern video sources. FLV is particularly useful for e-learning platforms, corporate training systems, and legacy web applications that haven't migrated to HTML5 video players.

Yes, FLV format fully supports H.264 video codec. Our converter intelligently wraps your existing H.264 video stream inside an FLV container without re-encoding, preserving the original compression efficiency and video quality. This means you get the best of both worlds: the compatibility of FLV format for legacy systems and the high-quality compression of H.264 codec. The conversion process maintains the original bitrate, resolution, and frame rate, ensuring no quality loss during the container change. This makes it ideal for users who need FLV compatibility but want to preserve the quality of their H.264-encoded MP4 source files.

Most modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari) have dropped native Flash support, so FLV files will not play directly in modern web browsers without additional plugins or players. FLV format is primarily intended for legacy systems, Flash-based applications, RTMP streaming servers, and specialized video players that still support Flash technology. For public-facing websites and modern web applications, we recommend using MP4 or WebM formats instead, which offer native browser support and better compatibility. However, FLV remains valuable for internal systems, e-learning platforms, legacy applications, and organizations maintaining Flash-based infrastructure that hasn't yet migrated to HTML5 video solutions.

Absolutely. After uploading your MP4 file, click "Advanced settings" to access comprehensive customization options. You can adjust video resolution (frame size), bitrate for both video and audio streams, frame rate, audio codec settings, and other encoding parameters before exporting your FLV file. This level of control allows you to optimize file size, quality, and compatibility for your specific use case - whether you need smaller files for low-bandwidth environments, higher quality for archival purposes, or specific settings for legacy players. The advanced settings give you professional-grade control over the conversion process, ensuring your FLV output meets your exact requirements.

Yes, videos up to 2 GB per file are accepted for conversion. Larger video files will convert more slowly due to increased processing time, but they follow the same secure, encrypted workflow. The conversion time depends on factors such as file size, video resolution, codec complexity, and selected encoding settings. For very large files, consider trimming or splitting them into smaller segments before upload to ensure faster processing. All files are processed securely using encrypted HTTPS connections, and larger files receive the same level of privacy protection and automatic deletion as smaller ones.

Yes, your files are completely secure during the conversion process. All file uploads use encrypted HTTPS connections to protect your data during transmission from your device to our servers. Files are processed securely in volatile memory (RAM) and are automatically deleted from our servers within minutes after conversion completion. We never store, share, or access your media files beyond the conversion process, ensuring complete privacy and security for all your video content. Your files remain yours alone, with no permanent storage, third-party access, or data retention - providing enterprise-grade security for your sensitive video files.
