What is an FLV Converter?

In order to understand what an FLV Converter is, let us first get to know what FLV is. FLV simply stands for Flash Video. It is a common format of Video and many of us have heard of it, especially on You Tube. It is the easiest and best method of uploading a video, that is if you are not interested in others downloading or editing it. With an FLV encoder, you can easily create Flash Videos and share them on the web.

FLV is also pretty common because Flash Player is widely available and is preinstalled in many computers. And even if it isn't it can easily be installed as it requires very less space and time to be downloaded.

Now although FLV is a famous video format, yet many of us still require changing this format into other forms of video. It is not because FLV is not preferred but because it does not allow some features, like editing, downloading etc; or it could also be simply because you want to change the format of your favorite video into one which can be watched on your mobile.
