How FLV compressing works

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.

You may need to compress FLV video for many different reasons - to save space in the device's memory or to transfer a file over the Internet. In any case, you need a good compressor that will do its job at the highest level. Modern video compression algorithms differ from image compression algorithms with which you may be familiar. The extra dimension and time means that various mathematical and logical methods are applied to the video file to reduce the size while maintaining the video quality. Video compression algorithms look for spatial and temporal redundancy. By encoding redundant data a minimum number of times, the file size can be reduced. Imagine, for example, one minute as the character's face slowly changes its facial expression. It doesn't make sense to encode a background image for each frame: instead, you can encode it once and then refer to it until you know the video is changing. This inter-prediction coding is responsible for artifacts that interfere with the compression of digital video: parts of the old image move with the wrong action because something in the coding has become useless.
