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.

Why won't my old FLV videos play anywhere anymore? Flash Player was retired at the end of 2020 and browsers dropped support, so the only practical way to keep them is converting to MP4.
About FLAC
FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) compresses audio without losing anything: the files are typically half to two thirds the size of WAV and decode back to the exact original samples.
Music archives, CD rips and high-resolution downloads.
FLAC files are several times larger than MP3, and some older players and car stereos do not play them.
Why convert CDs to FLAC instead of MP3? The copy is bit-for-bit identical to the original, so the archive never loses quality however often it is converted later.
What changes when you convert FLV to FLAC
- The soundtrack of the FLV is re-encoded as FLAC at the default settings, so it is close to the original but not bit-identical.
- Only the sound is kept: the FLAC file contains the audio track of your FLV, and the picture is dropped.
