WAV provides uncompressed PCM audio at CD quality. FLV (Flash Video) is Adobe's legacy container format, originally designed for streaming video through the Flash Player plugin. FLV supports limited audio codecs — primarily MP3, AAC, and Nellymoser ASAO — and was the dominant web video format from 2005 to 2015 before HTML5 video and the retirement of Flash Player in December 2020.
Converting WAV to FLV is a niche operation relevant only to legacy Flash-based systems, archived content preservation, or specific streaming servers (like older versions of Wowza, Red5, or Adobe Media Server) that still require FLV input for their ingest pipelines.
Legacy RTMP streaming servers and Flash-based media platforms may still require FLV format. Some older content management systems and proprietary media players were built around Flash and cannot accept modern container formats. Additionally, archived Flash-based educational platforms and e-learning systems may need FLV audio for compatibility.
FLV is also used in some live streaming workflows where RTMP ingest requires FLV container format. While RTMP is being replaced by SRT and WebRTC, many streaming CDNs still accept RTMP/FLV as an ingest format, including legacy configurations of YouTube Live, Twitch, and Facebook Live.
FFmpeg encodes the WAV PCM audio to MP3 or AAC (the two codecs FLV supports reliably) and wraps the stream in an FLV container. The FLV format uses a simple tag-based structure with audio and video tags interleaved in the stream. For audio-only FLV, only audio tags are present. FLV metadata is stored in a leading onMetaData script tag. The container is little-endian with big-endian field lengths, reflecting its Flash Player heritage.
Audio quality depends entirely on the codec and bitrate chosen. AAC at 128-256 kbps within FLV produces good to excellent quality. MP3 at 128-320 kbps is also supported and provides standard MP3 quality. The FLV container itself adds no quality degradation. The main limitation is FLV's restricted codec support — you cannot use Opus, Vorbis, FLAC, or other modern codecs.

WAV to FLV conversion serves legacy Flash and RTMP streaming workflows. Use AAC within FLV for the best audio quality when the target system supports it.
