What is FLV?
Why do you need FLV?
We all know the general video files, either asf format, wmv format using mediaplayer to play, or rm format using RealPlayer. The problem is that different formats require different players to be selected. For users who do not have the corresponding players installed on the local computer, these videos cannot be viewed at all. Also, because of the large capacity of these files, downloading is slow and viewing is not smooth. Therefore, to solve the problem of player and capacity, there is a way to use Flash: convert all kinds of video files into Flash video files. The player has a Flash player embedded in the browser, which seems to be available on everyone's machine. It solves the problem of selecting a player for other general video files. Of course, this is the advantage of Flash. In terms of capacity, the function of converting to Flash video has been supported since FlashMX2004Pro. After the relevant settings, the capacity of the original video can be reduced. The file extension of the final conversion is FLV.
The FLV streaming format is a new video format called Flash Video, which was developed based on the compression algorithm of Sorenson. Because it forms extremely small files, loads extremely fast, and can play videos without using a local Microsoft or REAL player, making it possible to watch video files over the network. Its appearance effectively solves the disadvantages that after the video file is imported into Flash, the exported SWF file is bulky and cannot be used well on the network. Before Flash MX, the video files in flash had to be imported into a bitmap frame by frame. As a result, the file is huge, limiting its scope of application. With the introduction of Flash MX, Macromedia has developed its own streaming video format, FLV. This format was developed based on the compression algorithm of Sorenson. Sorenson also provides algorithms for the MOV format. The FLV format can not only be easily imported into Flash, and a movie with a few hundred frames can be played in two seconds. At the same time, it can also be streamed from flashcom server through rtmp protocol.
