Convert MPEG to FLV

What is MPEG file?

MPEG .mpeg is a file format used by MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 digital video compression standards. In both standards, the MPEG file is a collection of frames of computerized audio and video encoded for low-bandwidth transmission over digital networks. Each frame consists of several discrete elements combined together to form the entire frame's compressed data. In MPEG-1, these elements include motion vectors, I/P frames, B frames and more.

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. It was developed as an alternative to the MP4 or MPEG4 format, as it offers higher quality and smaller file sizes than other formats. FLV files are popular with websites like YouTube, where they are used to host and embed videos on their websites. [ ⏩ ] FLV file extension

How to convert the file from MPEG to FLV?

To successfully convert the MPEG 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.MPEG). 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. MPEG to FLV. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting MPEG 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 MPEG 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.
