File with FLV extension is a container that contains encoded audio and video data. The file stores data in similar format as that used by SWF, a multimedia streaming file format based on Adobe Flash technology.
File with 264 extension contains RAW video data, typically from CCTV cameras, IPs, or DVR devices. 264 files can be also created as a result of using video ripping or conversion tools. Such 264 files are only temporary files. Data in 264 file is typically encoded using MPEG-4 / H.264 codec.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the FLV file after converting to 264 may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from FLV to 264 to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting FLV to 264 does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in FLV format, properly converted to a 264 file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file FLV the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of FLV file to other than 264. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your FLV file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to 264 on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the FLV file in its original format (without conversion to 264 file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
