What is the FLV format
FLV was a very well-known internet video format during the Adobe Flash era. For years it was used to deliver video through websites, embedded players and online services that depended on that technology.
Since the Flash ecosystem became obsolete, FLV is no longer a practical choice for most users. Converting FLV to MP4 is a convenient way to preserve those videos in a modern, playable format that works better with current browsers, devices and platforms.
