Convert RW2 to FLV
Fast, free, and secure RW2 to FLV conversion. No registration required.
Whether you have one rw2 file or fifty, converting them all to flv takes just seconds with Xonvert's browser-based engine. Your source file uses RW2 Raw Photo encoding (standard since 2008). The output will use FLV Video encoding (available since 2003). This particular format pair is popular among photographers and designers who need reliable, fast conversion. This conversion is instant for most file sizes. Large files may take a few extra seconds of processing.
Advantages of FLV over RW2
There are strong reasons to convert RW2 to FLV:
Industry standard: In many video workflows, FLV Video has become the go-to format, making this conversion a frequent necessity.
API and automation: Many automated workflows and APIs expect FLV Video as input, making this conversion necessary for programmatic processing.
Editing flexibility: FLV Video files can be opened in a wider range of editing software, giving you more options for further modifications.
Collaboration ease: Team members and collaborators are more likely to have software that opens FLV Video natively, reducing compatibility friction.
Smaller file size: Lossy compression in FLV Video often produces significantly smaller files than RW2 Raw Photo, saving storage space and bandwidth.

RW2 to FLV: Quality Comparison
Use Silkypix (bundled with Panasonic cameras) for native RW2 editing On the output side, Convert FLV to MP4 immediately — Flash is completely deprecated Together, following these practices ensures the best conversion outcome between RW2 Raw Photo and FLV Video. Dynamic range — the span from darkest to brightest values — is handled carefully during this conversion. RW2 Raw Photo preserves the full range. FLV Video optimizes for typical display capabilities. Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the FLV Video format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in FLV Video are gracefully omitted without affecting the converted content.
Converting a static RW2 Raw Photo image to FLV Video video format creates a single-frame video file. This is useful for creating video slideshows, adding images to video editing timelines, or preparing content for platforms that only accept video formats. The output will contain your image as a still frame with the duration and framerate you specify.
Compression trade-off: Your lossless RW2 source retains all original data. Converting to lossy FLV will reduce file size substantially, but some data is permanently discarded. Use the quality slider to balance file size against fidelity.
