Why this one stays private

Converting a video elsewhere means uploading the whole thing, waiting, and trusting a stranger's server with footage that may not be yours to hand over. The conversion happens here instead.

Questions

Why convert WebM to FLV?

WebM is small and made for the web, though older players and editors ignore it. FLV is a Flash-era container you now mostly meet when rescuing something old. Converting is how you move a file from the first situation to the second.

What will the FLV file contain?

H.264 video and AAC sound, the modern form of FLV that streaming servers still accept.

Is the picture re-encoded?

Yes. FLV cannot carry the VP9 video a WebM file normally holds, so the picture is encoded again, at a quality setting high enough that the difference is hard to see.

Is the sound kept?

Yes. The audio track comes across with the picture - copied when FLV can hold it as it is, converted when it cannot.

How long does it take?

Repackaging takes seconds. A full re-encode runs in this tab on one processor core, so a long HD video takes a while - but there is no upload or download to wait for.
