• Batch processing: Convert multiple FLV files in one session.
• Preset profiles: Ready-made profiles for common codecs and container settings.
• Audio handling: Extracts or converts audio streams; lets you adjust bitrate and sample rate.
• Frame and size control: Options for resizing video, changing frame rate, and bitrate control.
• Command-line support: Basic CLI usage for automation.
• Portable & lightweight: Small installer; low system requirements.
• No internet required: Fully offline conversion.

Pros

Cons

• Codec licensing/quality: Quality depends on chosen codec; no built-in HEVC or AV1 support in basic versions.
• Support and updates: Project activity can be infrequent; support is limited compared with commercial tools.

Who it’s best for

• Users on Windows who need a quick, free way to convert FLV files for playback on older players or simple editing workflows.
