Quality & Fidelity
Raw PCM audio in big-endian byte order When this data is re-encoded into FLV Video, Was the standard format for YouTube until 2010 Xonvert accounts for these differences to maintain visual and structural integrity. Color accuracy is a priority in this conversion. Xonvert maintains data integrity across the format boundary. The output closely matches your original. File size after conversion depends on the content complexity and your quality settings. FLV Video's compression algorithm is highly efficient — expect output sizes 2-10x smaller than uncompressed data.
Converting AIF Audio audio to FLV Video video creates a video file with a static visual (typically a black frame or waveform visualization) and your audio track. This is commonly used for uploading music to video-only platforms like YouTube, creating visualizer content, or embedding audio in video projects.
Compression trade-off: Your lossless AIF source retains all original data. Converting to lossy FLV will reduce file size substantially, but some data is permanently discarded. Use the quality slider to balance file size against fidelity.
