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 Ogg Video
Ogg Video (OGV) is the open Ogg container from the Xiph.Org Foundation holding Theora video, usually with Vorbis audio.
Open-source projects and Wikimedia Commons, which accepts video only in free formats.
Theora compresses less efficiently than modern codecs, and Apple devices do not play OGV natively.
Why convert video to OGV? For websites that standardise on open formats: Firefox and Chrome play it without patented codecs.
