How WMA Handles FLV Data
Convert WMA to MP3 or AAC for universal compatibility For the best results, start with the highest quality FLV Video source file available. WMA Audio is known for good compression quality within the Windows ecosystem. This means your converted output will benefit from WMA Audio's core strengths. Meanwhile, the original FLV Video's advantage of compact file size optimized for low-bandwidth streaming may not fully carry over, depending on WMA Audio's capabilities. Artifacts — unwanted visual or auditory imperfections — are minimized through Xonvert's tuned encoding parameters. For WMA Audio, the default quality settings sit well above the threshold where artifacts become noticeable.
