How to convert FLV to WMV
- Add your .FLV file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .WMV in a few seconds.
- Download your new .WMV file.
What to expect
- The video is re-encoded from FLV's codecs to the WMV codec - lossy, with quality set by the target bitrate.
- Audio is re-encoded into the ASF container, so the original AAC/MP3 data is not copied verbatim.
- Flash cue points and scripting metadata are dropped.
Frequently asked questions
Will FLV to WMV keep the original quality?
WMV stores video with Microsoft's WMV codec in an ASF container, so the FLV's H.264/VP6 video is re-encoded - a lossy step. Output quality depends on the chosen bitrate rather than matching the source exactly.
Why convert FLV to WMV?
WMV is the Windows Media video format, useful when the target expects a Windows-native file that plays in Media Player with no setup.
What can open a WMV file?
WMV plays natively on Windows and in VLC on other systems. Note that QuickTime cannot open WMV on modern macOS, and FLV itself depends on the retired Flash Player.
What is lost in the conversion?
Re-encoding to the WMV codec discards some detail, and Flash cue points and interactive metadata are not carried into the ASF container.
