Broad device support, efficient streaming, flexible codec choices, and good compatibility with social platforms. Compatibility depends on the codecs inside the container, not only the .mp4 extension; advanced subtitles and chapter support vary.
Format referenceWhy convert FLV to MP4?
- Compatibility is the main reason to convert when another person or service cannot open the source.
- The new format may support a feature the source container does not.
- The result can be reviewed without changing the file that other people still use.
- MP4 is more appropriate for the target application, device, or delivery channel than FLV.
Will quality change?
The conversion standardizes the container and codecs for compatibility. It is a delivery step, not a lossless remux. Check a sample before processing a large batch.
