Convert FLV to MP4 immediately — Flash is completely deprecated For the best results, start with the highest quality Core Audio Format source file available. FLV Video is known for compact file size optimized for low-bandwidth streaming. This means your converted output will benefit from FLV Video's core strengths. Meanwhile, the original Core Audio Format's advantage of unlimited file size, supports every Apple audio codec may not fully carry over, depending on FLV Video's capabilities. Artifacts — unwanted visual or auditory imperfections — are minimized through Xonvert's tuned encoding parameters. For FLV Video, the default quality settings sit well above the threshold where artifacts become noticeable.

Converting Core Audio Format 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 CAF 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.
