About Flash Video (FLV)
Flash Video (FLV) is the container Adobe Flash Player used to stream video on the web, typically with H.264 or the older Sorenson Spark and VP6 codecs.
Videos saved from websites of the Flash era and from some older streaming and recording tools.
Adobe ended Flash Player at the end of 2020 and browsers removed it, so FLV files need a converter or a desktop player such as VLC.

About Animated PNG
APNG (Animated PNG) extends PNG with animation frames. A viewer that does not support APNG shows its first frame as an ordinary PNG.
Animated stickers and web animations that need more than GIF's 256 colours or smooth transparency; all major browsers display it.
An APNG is usually much larger than a video of the same clip, and it has no sound.
Why convert an animation to APNG? It keeps GIF-style looping but with full colour and transparency, so gradients and photos survive.
