How to Publish FLV Video on Your Website

FLV means Flash video, and today it's one of the most popular formats to play on web pages. Why?

  • Flash files have a small size at the optimal quality, so they play smoothly.
  • Flash gives you an excellent control over the presentation of your video. If you own Adobe's Flash product, you can design your own player interface.
  • Flash works on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux and is supported in most popular Internet browsers - Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari and Opera.

Do you want to publish a FLV video on your website and stream it over internet? With Movavi Video Converter it's a job of just a few minutes. Movavi Video Converter allows converting video to the Flash format and automatically embedding FLV to HTML, so that you can quickly prepare your movies for web.
