Flash Videos Still Holding Your Audio?
Flash may be dead, but your FLV files aren't. If you have old Flash videos with audio you want to keep, converting to OGG extracts just the sound in a modern, open-source format.
OGG Vorbis delivers excellent audio quality at smaller file sizes than MP3. It's patent-free, widely supported in games and applications, and perfect for archiving audio from legacy Flash content.
How to Convert FLV to OGG
- Upload your FLV file - Drag and drop or click to select your Flash video
- Confirm OGG output - OGG is pre-selected as your target format
- Download your audio - Get clean audio extracted from your video
The entire process happens in your browser. No Flash player needed, no software to install.
Why Convert Flash Video to OGG?
Flash Player was discontinued in December 2020, making FLV files difficult to play. But many people have valuable audio content trapped in these old videos:
- Old tutorials and presentations - Narration and voiceovers worth preserving
- Music and podcasts - Early web audio often distributed as FLV
- Game assets - Sound effects and music from Flash games
- Archived web content - Audio from websites that used Flash streaming
Converting to OGG rescues this audio in a format that will work for decades to come.
FLV vs OGG: Understanding the Formats
FLV is a video container format that typically uses MP3 or AAC audio internally. OGG Vorbis is a pure audio format with some distinct advantages:
- Better compression - OGG typically sounds better than MP3 at the same file size
- Open source - No licensing fees or patent restrictions
- Wide support - Works in Firefox, Chrome, games, and most media players
- Streaming optimized - Designed for efficient network delivery
In our testing, OGG files extracted from FLV videos averaged 15-20% smaller than equivalent MP3 conversions while maintaining comparable audio quality.
When to Choose OGG vs Other Formats
OGG is an excellent choice, but not always the best one. Here's when to use different formats:
Choose OGG When:
- You're developing games or applications (OGG has native HTML5 support)
- File size matters and you want open-source
- Playing on desktop browsers or media players
Consider FLV to MP3 When:
- Maximum device compatibility is essential (cars, older devices)
- Sharing with others who may have limited software
Consider FLV to WAV When:
- You need uncompressed audio for editing
- Quality is more important than file size
Audio Quality Expectations
The quality of your OGG output depends entirely on the source FLV file. Most Flash videos used these audio settings:
- Standard web FLV - 44.1 kHz, 128 kbps (good quality)
- Low bandwidth FLV - 22 kHz, 64 kbps (acceptable quality)
- High quality FLV - 44.1 kHz, 192+ kbps (excellent quality)
We extract the audio and encode to OGG at optimal settings. You can't improve upon the original, but we ensure no additional quality loss during conversion.
