What is FLV?
FLV (Flash Video) is a digital video file format developed by Adobe Systems, primarily designed for streaming video content over the internet. FLV files typically use the H.263 or VP6 video codec and MP3 or AAC audio codec. However, with the decline of Flash technology and the rise of modern formats like MP4, FLV has become obsolete, as most web browsers and platforms now favor HTML5-based video playback for better performance, security, and compatibility.
What is AVI?
AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is a multimedia container format developed by Microsoft in 1992. It stores both audio and video data in a single file, allowing synchronous playback. AVI supports various codecs for compressing audio and video, offering flexibility in quality and file size. While it delivers high-quality output, AVI files can be large and are not ideal for streaming. It is widely supported across Windows-based systems and many media players.
