Fidelity When Converting CR2 to FLV
Real-world quality depends on three factors: source file quality, format capabilities, and encoder settings. Xonvert optimizes the third factor automatically, but starting with the best possible Canon RAW source always yields the best FLV Video output. 12-bit or 14-bit color depth per channel 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. Color profiles (sRGB, Adobe RGB, etc.) are preserved when both formats support them. The output closely matches your original.
Converting a static Canon RAW image to FLV Video video format creates a single-frame video file. This is useful for creating video slideshows, adding images to video editing timelines, or preparing content for platforms that only accept video formats. The output will contain your image as a still frame with the duration and framerate you specify.
Compression trade-off: Your lossless CR2 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.
