What changes when you convert FLV to WMV?

FLV and WMV are containers, while the video and audio codecs live inside them. Compatible streams may be copied; otherwise they are re-encoded for the selected WMV settings.

For the widest playback support, check that the selected video and audio codecs are accepted by the device or service that will receive the WMV file.

Add multiple videos and adjust the available video and audio codec settings before processing.

Open the finished WMV file and check fine details, layout and compatibility in the app where you plan to use it.

What is a FLV file?

FLV (Flash Video) was the format of web video during the Adobe Flash era. Flash is now discontinued and modern browsers no longer play FLV, so old FLV clips usually need converting to MP4 to be watchable today.

How to open a FLV file

FLV no longer plays in browsers; use VLC to view it, or convert it to MP4 for phones, editors and everywhere else.

What is a WMV file?

WMV (Windows Media Video) is Microsoft’s video format, once common for Windows clips and PowerPoint. It keeps files small but plays poorly outside Windows - Macs, phones and web browsers often can’t open it, so MP4 is the safer choice for sharing.

How to open a WMV file

WMV plays in Windows Media Player and VLC; on Mac, phones or the web, convert it to MP4 first.
