About FLV and WAV Formats

What is FLV?

FLV was the format behind Adobe Flash Player video, used by early YouTube. Its audio is usually MP3 or AAC. Flash was discontinued at the end of 2020.

Commonly used for:

  • Archived web video
  • Old YouTube downloads
  • Legacy e-learning content

What is WAV?

WAV was introduced by Microsoft and IBM in 1991 and stores audio as uncompressed PCM samples. CD-quality stereo WAV (16-bit, 44.1 kHz) uses about 10 MB per minute, and every audio editor, DAW and media player can open it.

  • Recording, editing and mixing in any DAW
  • Mastering and archiving at full quality
  • Broadcast, sampling and sound-design work
  • Maximum compatibility with hardware and software

Why convert FLV to WAV?

With Flash gone, converting to WAV keeps the audio from old FLV files usable.
