Technical Details
Video Codec Optimization
Converts MPEG’s video streams to FLV using H.264 or Sorenson Spark codecs, maintaining visual quality while optimizing for streaming. Handles both MPEG-1’s simple frame structure and MPEG-2’s advanced features like interlaced video and multiple bitrates.
Container Format Migration
Transforms MPEG’s program stream or transport stream containers into FLV’s streamable format, preserving timestamp information and video metadata. Converts audio from MPEG Audio Layer II/III to AAC or MP3 for Flash compatibility.
Streaming Optimization
Restructures video data for progressive download and Flash streaming, adding FLV metadata tags for seeking and duration information. Optimizes keyframe intervals and bitrate distribution for smooth web playback across different connection speeds.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between MPEG and FLV video quality?
MPEG typically offers higher quality due to less aggressive compression, but FLV provides better streaming performance with smaller file sizes. The quality difference is minimal for web viewing, while FLV excels in progressive download and streaming scenarios.
Can I convert MPEG-2 transport streams to FLV?
Yes, Convertify supports both MPEG-1 program streams and MPEG-2 transport streams. The converter handles the complex demultiplexing of transport streams and converts the video/audio to FLV’s simpler container format while preserving quality.
Will audio sync be maintained during MPEG to FLV conversion?
Absolutely. The converter preserves timestamp information and audio-video synchronization throughout the conversion process. MPEG’s audio streams are converted to Flash-compatible AAC or MP3 while maintaining perfect lip-sync.
How much smaller will my MPEG files become as FLV?
FLV files are typically 30-60% smaller than equivalent MPEG files due to more efficient compression algorithms and streaming-optimized encoding. The exact reduction depends on your source video’s bitrate and the FLV quality settings chosen.
Can I batch convert multiple MPEG files to FLV simultaneously?
Yes, Convertify’s batch processing handles thousands of MPEG files in a single operation. The converter intelligently manages system resources to process multiple files simultaneously without crashes or quality loss.
Are there any limitations when converting broadcast MPEG files?
Convertify handles professional broadcast MPEG files including high bitrates, interlaced content, and multiple audio tracks. The converter automatically adapts broadcast specifications to FLV’s streaming-optimized format while maintaining visual quality.
Will FLV files work on modern browsers without Flash?
FLV files require Flash Player for playback, which modern browsers no longer support by default. Consider converting to MP4 instead if you need modern browser compatibility, or use FLV specifically for legacy Flash applications and streaming platforms.
Does the conversion preserve video metadata and chapter information?
The converter transfers essential metadata like duration, resolution, and framerate to the FLV file. However, complex MPEG features like multiple camera angles or extensive chapter markers may not translate directly to FLV’s simpler metadata structure.
