FAQ

FLV to MP4, answered.

Will I lose quality converting FLV to MP4?

The change is minimal. Both formats are compressed, and PrivateRemix converts at a high quality setting so there is no visible or audible drop for everyday use.

Are FLV files still usable?

Flash is discontinued and modern browsers can't play FLV. Converting to MP4 rescues old Flash videos for today's players.

Is MP4 the best video format?

For sharing and playback, yes — MP4 is supported by nearly every phone, TV, browser and editor, which is why it's the safe default.

No. PrivateRemix runs entirely on your Mac using its own processor. Your FLV files never leave the device — there is no server to upload to, and it works fully offline.

Can I convert several FLV files to MP4 at once?

Yes. Drop in a batch of FLV files and PrivateRemix converts them all locally, saving each new MP4 next to its original.
