Convert FLV to MPEG

Converting one file format to another may be necessary for various reasons. So, for example, you may want to convert FLV to MPEG if your computer, phone or other device does not support FLV format. Also, conversion is often required to reduce the file size, since the original format takes up too much space in the device's memory. Perhaps you just need to extract the audio track from the video file, in which case converting the video to audio format is a good option. In any case, with the help of our converter, you can easily complete the required task. Below you can find out some details about the original and new file formats.

The FLV extension significantly compresses content and belongs to the category of video formats, or media containers. The format can be opened on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux or Android platforms. The FLV format was created by the developers of the Macromedia company. In 2007, Adobe Systems became the owner of the patent. FLV is an open format, so it is supported by a variety of programs from various developers. .FLV files can be created using Adobe Flash or other similar applications. They usually include a short title, audio, video, and metadata. FLV or Flash Video is a file format that is very widely used for publishing videos on the Internet. Almost all online videos that you see on such well-known sites as YouTube, Vimeo and the like have previously used this particular format. With the development and increasing speed of the Internet, watching videos online has become commonplace. To achieve good quality video transmission, coding began to be used that transmits data at high speed and without loss of quality. You can not only play the media file on your computer, but also prepare it for playing on your smartphone, tablet, player and uploading to social networks. To do this, you need to convert the clip to a different format.

In January 1988, an expert working group on coding of moving images was formed within the framework of the joint information technology technical committee JTC1 of the International Organization for Standardization ISO and the International Electrotechnical Commission IEC, which was tasked with developing standards for image and sound coding with the aim of eliminating redundancy. MPEG compression standards were developed by Moving Picture Experts Group. This technology defines the compression standards for both audio and video information and makes it convenient for transmission in broadcast. There are many versions of the format - MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-3, MPEG-4, etc. MPEG-1 is a lossy compression standard for video and audio. It is designed to compress VHS. Perhaps everyone is familiar with the MPEG-2 format. It is this format that underlies DVD-Video discs. The MPEG-2 format is also the basis for digital television standards. The MPEG3 standard was originally developed for use in High Definition Television (HDTV) systems with a data rate of 20-40 Mbps. The new MPEG4 standard, which appeared at the very end of 1999, offers a broader view of media reality. The standard defines the principles for working with content (digital representation of media data) for three areas: interactive multimedia itself (including products distributed on optical discs and over the Internet), graphics applications (synthetic content) and digital television (DTV).
