About Flash Video
FLV is a proprietary file format used to deliver video over the Internet using Adobe Flash Player version 6, 7, 8, or 9. FLV content may also be embedded within SWF files.
Flash Video is viewable on most operating systems, via the Adobe Flash Player and web browser plugin, or one of several third-party programs such as Media Player Classic, MPlayer, or VLC media player. Usually FLV files contain video bit streams which are a variant of the H.263 video standard. The FLV file format supports two versions of a so called 'screenshare' codec which is an encoding format designed for screencasts. Both these formats are bitmap tile based, can be lossy by reducing color depths and are compressed using zlib. Audio in FLV files is usually encoded as MP3. |
