.FLV

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.

Technical Information and Features

The FLV file format allows for both audio and video to be stored in a single file. To store the data in multiple streams, FLV files use the H.264 or VP6 video codecs, and either the AAC (Advanced Audio Codec) or MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer III) audio codecs. The content stored in an FLV file can be streamed via Adobe Flash, but also by all other major media players such as Windows Media Player and Quicktime. FLV files can also be embedded directly into HTML pages using HTML5 technology. Other similar file formats that work with Adobe Flash include F4V, .SWF, and .MTS.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .FLV) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .FLV extension.

When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.

Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .FLV file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .FLV extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .FLV extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .FLV file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .FLV file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.

In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .FLV file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .FLV file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .FLV file has no errors
  • or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
In such a case it is best to try to download the .FLV file again from the same source on the Internet (or look for another source). If you received the file from another person, ask this person to re-send it. However, if the file was copied from some media, repeat the copying operation.
