As we all know, FLV prevails in internet at present. Want to make your life more convenient and colorful? The other day, I came across a wonderful FLV Video Converter named ‘A-one’.
Although its user interface not luxuriant, it is a powerful yet easy-to-use tool for you convert MP4 files to FLV files.

A-one FLV Video Converter can convert various video file formats to FLV from MP4 with high speed and good performance, including DivX , XviD , AVI , WMV , MPG, MPEG , ASF , MOV , ASX , SVCD , VCD stream formats. It supports batch video files so that you can convert several video files at one time conveniently. It could automatically shutdown your computer after all conversion done, so no need to wait around your computer.

This Video to FLV Converter is not setted complicated parameters, you can use it just with a few clicks. It automatically detects your hardware and decide the best converting speed. In normal status, batch files conversion speed is more than 2 times of the playback speed.

In my opinion, A-one FLV Video Converter is professional in the mass. $25 for getting a full version, it is affordable to us. If the conversion speed is a little faster, and the UI is more bright, that would be better. I’d like rate it 7.5 out of 10 scales.

FLV is Flash video files, and is basically a stream of images and sound. This means you can stream these from a stream server, and get benefits like the ability to start streaming from anywhere in the file and such processing.

SWF files are not streaming media, but complete files with scripts and more. This means they will transfer over the http protocol from the first byte and if you need something in the last end of the file you will have to wait for the whole file to transfer.

If you however transfer the FLV file over HTTP the same applies also there. But FLV files can with macromedia media playback be transferred over the streaming protocol in a different fashion.

That was a short summary for how you can use the two files differently.
FLV can also be used as video inside your animation as any other video. And it offers possibility of masking and so on, which swf have more limits with.
So as a general rule… if you dont need transparency, and the files are small.. choose swf. In other cases use flv.
