About FLV to WMV Conversion
FLV (Flash Video) uses Sorenson Spark, VP6, or H.264 codecs in Adobe's proprietary web container. WMV (Windows Media Video) is Microsoft's video format family, using VC-1 (SMPTE 421M) or WMV9 codecs within the ASF container. WMV was the dominant Windows video format from 2000-2012 and remains deeply integrated into Windows Media Player, PowerPoint, and Xbox. Converting FLV to WMV creates files optimized for the Microsoft ecosystem.
Why Convert FLV to WMV?
WMV is the path of least resistance for embedding video in PowerPoint presentations, playing on older Windows systems without codec packs, and streaming to Xbox 360 consoles. Windows Media Player handles WMV natively with full DRM support, chapter markers, and streaming capabilities. For enterprise environments running older Windows infrastructure, WMV may be the only accepted video format.
Common Use Cases
- Embedding FLV-sourced video in PowerPoint presentations using WMV for native slideshow playback
- Creating Windows Media Player-compatible video from FLV downloads for Windows XP/Vista/7 systems
