1. Differences Between FLV and HD FLV
FLV, also known as Flash video, is a popular format used to deliver video over the Internet using Flash Player. FLV usually refers to SD video (Standard Definition video), which is compressed by H.263 or MPEG video codec. You can enjoy Flash video via widely available Adobe Flash Player and web browser plug-ins, or one of the several third-party programs, such as MPlayer, QuickTime and VLC media player.

HD FLV is High Definition Flash Video, which generally refers to Flash video system of higher resolution than Standard Definition (SD) video, most commonly at display resolutions of 1280×720 (720p) or 1920×1080 (1080i or 1080p). SD video is usually encoded by standard H.263 or MPEG video codec, etc, while the HD video is better video compression solution which adopts H.264 video codec.

2. Advantages of HD FLV
The HD FLV in H.264 has better video quality and wider usages than FLV. It delivers excellent video quality across the entire bandwidth spectrum – from 3G to HD and everything in between (from 40 Kbps to upwards of 10 Mbps). H.264 is the next-generation video compression technology in the MPEG-4 standard, also known as MPEG-4 Part 10.

3. Recommended HD FLV Converter

If you are not satisfied with enjoying the HD videos on the computer, please try to put the videos on your portable device, such as Sony PSP, Apple iPhone and 3G mobile. This would be a more convenient entertainment. But at first, you need to convert the HD FLV videos to the particular formats supported by your portable device.

What’s F4V?

F4V files are standard MP4 files that can be played by Flash Player 9 Update 3 and above. F4V files are usually encoded in H.264. The F4V format is based on the format specified by ISO/IEC 14496-12: ISO base media file format. A large part of the F4V format involves metadata. When Flash Player loads an F4V file, various stream properties are available to a running ActionScript program via the NetStream.onMetaData property. The available properties differ depending on the software used.
