• What is video bitrate?

  Bitrate refers to the amount of data transferred at any given time. A higher transfer speed means more data passes through, and a higher bitrate provides a better-quality video. Simply put, the higher the bitrate the better is the quality of your video. This doesn’t mean you can go overboard with it. A higher bitrate also means higher buffering time. So, it will all depend on your requirement. Bitrate is measured in bits per second(bps). Since bits are lesser values, we use terms like kilobits, megabits, gigabits, depending on the usage. With FLV to MP4 converter, you can select your own bitrate, at which you want your videos to be processed. The default measurement is kilobits per second.

• Will the quality of my videos decrease after converting?

  FLV to MP4 converter allows to your chose the quality of the video as per your requirement. If you want high quality video, you can choose a higher resolution and the file size will be bigger. But if you care about the size of the file and can compromise in the size then chose a lesser resolution. FLV to MP4 converter also allows all the standard resolutions from 144p to 1080p.

• What is video encoder?

  Video encoding is a process done to make video files smaller through compression. It is done to convert analog recordings into digital and to make videos that you would play on the internet. The tools used for video file compression and playback are known as “codecs”. There are many codecs available such as H.264, MPEG-2, VP9, WMV, HEVC and Quicktime. A video may be compressed using different codecs and if you don’t have a software that is not capable of playing the video of that codec, the playback fails. At FLV to MP4 converter you can find two best different codecs available, H.264 and MPEG4.

• What video encoder should I choose?

  The best video codec is H.264. Almost every device that exists supports this codec and it is the most commonly used codec. You can watch H.264 encoded videos on laptops, smartphones, desktops, smart TVs, tablets, gaming consoles and almost every other device which supports video formats. MPEG4 has a slower compression rate as compared to H.264. The image quality and playback are more fluent for files encoded with H.264 encoder. It also has a small file size as compared to MPEG4.

---

• What are the resolutions available and what will be size of the file of different resolutions?

  FLV to MP4 converter provides all the standard resolutions i.e., 1080p, 720p, 480p, 360p, 240p and 144p. Keep in mind that a higher resolution file size will be more than a file with lower resolution. The size of the file will also depend on the length of the video, the resolution, the aspect ratio and the CRF values.

• What are the video framerate?

  Videos are made by multiple still photos taken and projected onto a screen, per second. Frame rate or frames per second is the speed at which pictures are shown in a second. For a normal motion picture, 24 frames per second is the standard rate. It means 24 pictures are shown within a second, which looks like a video. With FLV to MP4 converter, you can select the frame rate which you want, according to your need. The frame rates available with us are 24 fps, 30 fps and 60 fps and custom, in which you can type in your desired frame rate. 24 fps are ideal if you want a cinematic look, 30 fps for TV and live sports and 60 fps is ideal for walking videos, blowing candles etc.

---

• What are the encoding speeds?

  FLV to MP4 converter allows you to choose encoding speed i.e., the speed at which you want to convert the video and save it for download. The encoding speeds available with FLV to MP4 converter are ultrafast, superfast, very fast, faster, fast, medium, slow, slower, very slow. The slower the speed the better is the compression.
