Can I burn old Flash videos to DVD?

Yes. Convert FLV to MPEG first, then use DVD authoring software to create a playable disc. This is a great way to preserve Flash-era video content.

Will the MPEG file be larger than the FLV?

Yes. MPEG-2 uses higher bitrates than most FLV codecs. However, since FLV files are typically small, the MPEG output is usually manageable in size.

Will the low-resolution FLV look okay on DVD?

FLV files are often very low resolution (320x240). On a DVD player connected to a large TV, the video will appear pixelated. The converter preserves the original quality without enhancement.

Does this handle all types of FLV files?

Yes. FLV files with Sorenson Spark, VP6, and H.264 codecs are all supported and transcoded to MPEG-2.

Can I fit many short FLV clips on one DVD?

Yes. Since FLV clips are typically short and low-resolution, you can convert many clips and fit them all on a single DVD with plenty of space to spare.

FLV to MPEG Converter

If you want to preserve old Flash videos on DVD, converting FLV to MPEG-2 creates disc-compatible files ready for DVD authoring. This lets you create physical DVDs of cherished Flash-era content that might otherwise be lost as Flash Player support disappears.

Convert MPEG to FLV instead

FLV files typically contain low-resolution, low-bitrate video from the Flash era. The MPEG-2 output faithfully preserves this quality level. DVD playback may emphasize the low resolution of the original Flash content, especially on large displays.

How to Convert FLV to MPEG

1
Select your FLV file from your device or drag it into the upload area.
2
Choose MPEG as the target output format.
3
Click Convert and download your DVD-ready MPEG file.

About Our FLV to MPEG Converter

This converter uses FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly (WASM) to transform your FLV files into MPEG format entirely inside your web browser. When you select a file for conversion, the processing happens locally on your device. Your file is never uploaded to any server, never transmitted over the internet, and never stored anywhere outside your own computer. This privacy-first architecture makes our tool safe for confidential and sensitive content — including legal recordings, medical files, financial presentations, personal media, and any other material you would not want on a third-party server.

The conversion process works by decoding the FLV input using FFmpeg's highly optimized decoders, then encoding the output in MPEG format with carefully tuned settings that balance quality and file size. When possible, the tool uses stream copy mode to remux (rewrap) compatible streams without re-encoding, which preserves the original quality with zero generational loss. When re-encoding is necessary due to codec differences between the two formats, the converter uses high-quality encoding settings to minimize any visible or audible quality reduction.

Supported input formats include MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, and WebM for video, with automatic detection of the codecs and parameters inside your source file. The output is optimized for maximum compatibility with modern devices and platforms including Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, smart TVs, and all major web browsers.

Why browser-based conversion is safer: traditional online converters require you to upload your file to a remote server, where it is processed by third-party infrastructure and then made available for download. This workflow exposes your data to interception during upload, unauthorized access on the server, unclear data retention policies, and potential data breaches. Professionals in regulated industries such as healthcare (HIPAA), legal (attorney-client privilege), and finance (SOX, GDPR) often cannot use server-based converters without violating compliance requirements. Our WebAssembly-powered approach eliminates all of these risks by ensuring your data never leaves the browser sandbox on your own device.

The tool handles files up to 500 MB on desktop browsers and 200 MB on mobile devices. No account registration, no software installation, and no recurring subscription is required. Conversion typically completes in seconds for small files and a few minutes for larger ones, depending on your device's processing capabilities. Once the conversion is finished, you can download the result immediately and the source data is discarded from browser memory.
