How to convert FLV to MPEG

  1. 1

    Choose your file

    Drop an FLV file onto the converter, or pick one from your device. You can add several at once.

  2. 2

    Select MPEG

    Pick MPEG as the output format. Open Settings if you want to control the resolution, an exact width, and how it fits, and 8 more.

  3. 3

    Download the result

    Convert and download the finished file. No account, and nothing to install.

flv

Flash Video

The container behind the Flash era. Obsolete for playback, but plenty of archives still hold it.

mpeg

MPEG Program Stream

An older broadcast and DVD-era container, typically carrying MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video.

FLV to MPEG, asked and answered

Does converting FLV to MPEG lose quality?

Yes. FLV has already discarded some detail and MPEG discards more, because re-encoding starts from what survived the first pass rather than from the original.

Can I convert the MPEG back to FLV?

Yes, and the file will open — but a round trip is not free. Each pass re-encodes, so going FLV to MPEG and back leaves you with less than you started with.

What can I change about the MPEG it produces?

You can set the resolution, an exact width, how it fits, the frame rate, which way to turn it, whether to mirror it, where it starts and stops, the audio codec, the audio bitrate, the sample rate, and mono or stereo. Anything left on Auto is decided by the encoder, which is usually the right answer unless you are targeting a specific size or device.

Where does the conversion happen?

On our server. The file is sent over HTTPS and converted in a sandbox with no network access of its own; your input and the result go together, removed at once if it fails and otherwise kept for a few minutes so you can download them, then deleted — whether or not you did. There are no accounts for anything to be kept against.

Is there a limit on file size?

Yes — there is a per-file cap and an hourly job limit, because this runs on one small server. The API page states the limits currently in force rather than a number baked into this page.
