What is FLV?
FLV (Flash Video) is a container file format used to deliver digital video content over the Internet. Originally developed by Macromedia (now Adobe Systems), it's important to understand that FLV is just a container - like a box that can hold different types of video and audio codecs. While traditionally associated with older codecs, the FLV container can actually support modern codecs including H.264, H.265 (HEVC), AV1 for video, along with MP3, AAC, or other audio formats.
