How to Convert FLV to AVI
In the world of computer science, there are many different formats and file types that make up media. While the information remains the same, file types tell the computer how to process the information and explain what the information is for. For example, a .txt file extension automatically tells the computer that the file is a Notepad document and that it should be organized and displayed as such. Likewise, a .pdf extension tells the computer that the file is a PDF document and that it should be opened with Adobe Acrobat Reader or a similar software. This article will focus on the FLV and AVI file formats, specifically on how to convert FLV files to AVI files.
What Is FLV
FLV, or Flash Video, is a file type that allows users to watch interactive videos over the Internet. FLV can also be embedded in Shockwave Flash documents that are basically the same thing. FLV can be used for presentations, online games, and even in streaming videos. FLV can be found in many popular online video sites such as YouTube, Google Videos, and Hulu. In order to watch and interact with FLV files, users must download and install the browser plug-in, Adobe Flash Player. Because Adobe has such vast influence in the computer world, FLV can be played on almost all operating systems and in almost any browser.
What is AVI
AVI, or Audio Video Interleave, is a file container format that allows audio and video to be combined in the same file. AVI almost always contains synchronization codecs that keep the audio and video flowing at the same rate. AVI is currently one of the most popular and widely used video formats, despite its lack of modern encoding options. Fortunately, there are many codecs and programs that will correct the problems found in AVI in order to match the quality and reliability of more modern container formats.
