MPEG-4 (MP4) is a container video format that can store multimedia data, usually audio and video. Other programs in which FLV can open include VLC media player, Zoom Player, RealNetworks RealPlayer Cloud, Eltima Elmedia Player, and others. Since FLV is based on an open standard, it can open in many non-Adobe products. FLV does not support chapters or subtitles, but it does support metadata tags. It opens best in Adobe Flash version 7 and above. FLV uses the open standard ISO/IEC 14496-12:2008, also known as the ISO base media file format, which offers the advantage of flexibility and independence.īy default, FLV opens in Adobe products, namely Animate Creative Cloud (Animate CC) and Flash. It is also a media container, and as such, uses codecs to compress file size.
It is a popular format that delivers high-quality, well-synchronized multimedia content, primarily over the Internet. Flash Live Video (FLV) is, as the name suggests, a type of Flash video.
