{{mux|id=flv|encoder=n}}
'''Flash Video''' is a file format mainly used for playing data in a Flash player on a webpage. It has the extension '''.flv'''.

There are 2 types of flv file, one based on [[H.263]] (since Flash 6) and another based on [[VP6]] (since Flash 8).

==Compatibility==
H.263 flash video is supported by the latest VLC, with some bugs. There is a [[Fixing .flv to .avi with Ffmpeg|workaround]] using [[ffmpeg]] for this. VP6 is also supported by ffmpeg, and should be supported in the future.
