Conversion Quality Deep Dive
File size after conversion depends on the content complexity and your quality settings. FLV Video's compression algorithm is highly efficient — expect output sizes 2-10x smaller than uncompressed data. Convert FLV to MP4 immediately — Flash is completely deprecated For the best results, start with the highest quality YUV Raw Video source file available. FLV Video is known for compact file size optimized for low-bandwidth streaming. This means your converted output will benefit from FLV Video's core strengths. Meanwhile, the original YUV Raw Video's advantage of zero compression for maximum quality analysis may not fully carry over, depending on FLV Video's capabilities.
Video format conversion from YUV Raw Video to FLV Video involves re-encoding or remuxing the video stream. Xonvert selects the most efficient encoding strategy — remuxing when possible (zero quality loss) and re-encoding with optimal parameters when the target format requires a different codec. Key factors include codec compatibility, resolution handling, and audio stream preservation.
Compression trade-off: Your lossless YUV 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.
Resolution handling: Your video's original resolution is preserved by default. You can optionally downscale in the settings panel to reduce file size — useful when preparing content for mobile viewing or web upload.
