FLV to RA: Quality Comparison
Dynamic range — the span from darkest to brightest values — is handled carefully during this conversion. FLV Video may clip extreme values. RealAudio optimizes for typical display capabilities. Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the RealAudio format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in RealAudio 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 RealAudio output. Xonvert defaults to high quality settings that keep file size reasonable without compromising perceivable quality.

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.
