Frequently asked questions
Does FLV to MPEG lose quality?
Yes. MPEG here means the older MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video used on VCDs and DVDs, so the FLV is re-encoded to that standard, which is less efficient and typically produces a larger file for the same clarity.
Why convert FLV to MPEG?
MPEG-1/MPEG-2 is the format behind VCDs, DVDs and many hardware players and TV devices, so converting suits disc authoring or legacy gear. FLV relies on the discontinued Flash Player.
What plays an MPEG file?
VLC media player opens it on any platform. Note that .mpeg and .mpg are the same format.
How does the file size compare?
MPEG-1/MPEG-2 compresses less efficiently than modern codecs, so the MPEG output is usually noticeably larger than the FLV while offering similar or lower detail.
