What changes when you convert WebM to FLV?
WebM and FLV are containers, while the video and audio codecs live inside them. Compatible streams may be copied; otherwise they are re-encoded for the selected FLV 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 FLV file.
- Add multiple videos and adjust the available video and audio codec settings before processing.
- Open the finished FLV file and check fine details, layout and compatibility in the app where you plan to use it.

WebM is an open, royalty-free video format built for the web. It streams efficiently at small file sizes and is supported natively by modern browsers, which makes it ideal for online video and HTML5 players.

WebM plays in all current browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) and VLC; older devices or editing software may need it converted to MP4.
Output formatWhat 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.
