Quality & Fidelity
Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the AIF Audio format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in AIF Audio are gracefully omitted without affecting the converted content. Quality in this conversion depends primarily on your source file. A high-quality FLV Video input produces an excellent AIF Audio output. Since the target format is lossless, output quality matches your input exactly. FLV Video encodes data using perceptual compression that prioritizes human perception. AIF Audio prioritizes exact data preservation. The conversion maps between these approaches intelligently.
Extracting audio from FLV Video video to AIF Audio format strips the video track and saves only the audio content. This is perfect for extracting music from music videos, saving podcast audio from video recordings, or creating audio-only versions of lectures and presentations. The audio quality depends on the original video's audio track bitrate and codec.
Important: Converting from lossy FLV to lossless AIF does not restore previously discarded data. The output perfectly preserves your current file quality without adding further degradation, but quality lost during the original FLV encoding cannot be recovered.
