Converting FLV to APE with Xonvert is straightforward:

1. Open the converter — Navigate to this page or drag your FLV file directly onto the Xonvert window.

Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the Monkey's Audio format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in Monkey's 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 Monkey's 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. Monkey's Audio prioritizes exact data preservation. The conversion maps between these approaches intelligently.

Extracting audio from FLV Video video to Monkey's 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 APE 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.
