Quality & Fidelity
Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the MP3 Audio format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in MP3 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 MP3 Audio output. Xonvert defaults to high quality settings that keep file size reasonable without compromising perceivable quality. FLV Video encodes data using perceptual compression that prioritizes human perception. MP3 Audio similarly focuses on perceptual quality. The conversion maps between these approaches intelligently.
Extracting audio from FLV Video video to MP3 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.
The FLV to MP3 conversion applies format-appropriate algorithms to ensure maximum data fidelity. Was the standard format for YouTube until 2010
