FLV

FLV Flash Video

FLV was the Flash Player video format behind early YouTube. Flash is gone, so FLV files now need converting before modern devices will play them.

MOV is Apple's QuickTime container and the format iPhones and many cameras record to. It often holds HEVC or ProRes video, which keeps quality high but files large.

FLV files are leftovers from the Flash era: old video downloads, game captures and livestream archives. No modern browser or phone plays FLV. Choose MOV to edit in iMovie or Final Cut, or to keep an Apple-based workflow consistent.

Frequently asked questions

Will the MOV lose quality?

Both formats are lossy, so converting re-encodes the data once more. Using a high quality setting keeps the generational loss very small. Avoid converting the same file back and forth repeatedly.

Does converting FLV to MOV re-encode the video?

Sometimes: it depends on the codec inside your file, and Smart mode checks this automatically. A typical FLV contains H.264 or Sorenson Spark video with AAC or MP3 audio. Otherwise the result is H.264 with AAC audio.
