FLV is a proprietary file format used to deliver video over the Internet using Adobe Flash Player version 6, 7, 8, or 9. FLV content may also be embedded within SWF files.
Flash Video is viewable on most operating systems, via the Adobe Flash Player and web browser plugin, or one of several third-party programs such as Media Player Classic, MPlayer, or VLC media player.
Usually FLV files contain video bit streams which are a variant of the H.263 video standard.
The FLV file format supports two versions of a so called ’screenshare’ codec which is an encoding format designed for screencasts. Both these formats are bitmap tile based, can be lossy by reducing color depths and are compressed using zlib.
Audio in FLV files is usually encoded as MP3.
WMV (Windows Media Video) is a name for the set of video codec technologies developed by Microsoft.
WMV files use ASF container format. These files can be played by MPlayer or Windows Media Player.
The .wmv file extension usually describes ASF files using Windows Media Video codecs. The audio codec used with WMV is normally a version of WMA.
Besides ASF, WMV can be put into the AVI or MKV container formats as well.
Originally the WMV codec was designed for Internet streaming applications. Two other codecs – WMV Screen and WMV Image – are a screencast codec and a video slideshow codec respectively.
