Over FLV-bestandenVergelijking van sterke punten
AVI Sterke punten
- Simple, well-documented format — trivial for any video library to parse.
- Universal Windows playback since Video for Windows in 1992.
- Low encoding overhead — interleaved structure is fast to write.
- Works with any codec technically, including modern ones.
FLV Sterke punten
- Low overhead — the container is extremely compact.
- Designed for streaming — progressive download and seeking work well.
- Decoded natively by Flash Player on every OS for 20 years.
Beperkingen
AVI Beperkingen
- Aging container — no native support for chapters, subtitles, or multi-audio selection.
- File-size limits (2 GB original, 4 GB with OpenDML) break for HD content.
- Variable-framerate video causes sync drift.
- Larger than equivalent MP4 or MKV due to container overhead.
- Poor support on iOS and Android.
FLV Beperkingen
- Flash Player is dead — no modern browser can play FLV without conversion.
- Legacy codecs (Sorenson, VP6) are poorly supported in modern tooling.
- Hardware video decoders never added FLV support.
- Metadata format is primitive compared to MP4 or MKV.
- Actively harmful to use today — every major security agency has warned against Flash since 2015.
