What is 264 file?
The .264 file is a multimedia file that contains audio and video digital data compressed with the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC (Advanced Video Coding) compression standard. It enables Blu-ray discs, Quicktime MOV scripts and other container formats to efficiently encode audio and video data in High Definition (HD) quality with minimal degradation. This file is stored in a binary encoded container format, and is used to play, stream, or create video files. With the ability to store data at any bitrate, . [ ⏩ ] 264 file extension
What is FLV file?
The FLV (Flash Video File) is a digital video file format created by Adobe Systems, allowing users to store compressed digital video content. FLV files can be played on a variety of devices, and are often used for streaming video over the Internet.

Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from 264 to FLV?
To successfully convert the 264 file to FLV, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.264). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case FLV (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than FLV).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. 264 to FLV. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting 264 files to FLV files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension FLV, while before this step we had the 264 file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new FLV file, or not.
