FLV to MPG Conversion FAQ
Will resolution and frame rate be preserved in the MPG?
+
Yes. FLV → MPG keeps resolution, frame rate, and aspect ratio unchanged by default. To change them, use the Resize or Speed tool on the result.
Can the MPG hold more than one audio track?
+
Yes, and it is a real upgrade over FLV. MPG treats every audio stream as a first-class track, so an original-language mix, a dub and a director commentary can live in one file with the player switching between them on demand. MPG is the extension DVD authoring software, older camcorders and broadcast ingest tools recognise, so it stays useful for those pipelines.
Is there any point converting between two legacy formats like FLV and MPG?
+
Only if a specific piece of equipment demands the target. Both formats come from the same pre-H.264 era, so neither conversion buys efficiency, quality or future-proofing — it buys compatibility with one particular device. If the goal is to keep the footage usable long-term, convert to a current container instead of sideways. No current browser, phone or TV can play FLV — anything still in this container has to be moved out of it to remain watchable. MPG inherits every MPEG-2 limitation — heavy bitrate, interlacing, no soft subtitles — plus the confusion of two extensions for one format.
Is there a file-size limit when converting FLV to MPG?
+
Free conversions have a size limit per file, set by the type of file, and the page tells you when a file is over it. A paid plan removes that limit, so much larger files can be converted.
Can I batch-convert several FLV files to MPG at once?
+
Several files in one job need a paid plan. Free use is one file per conversion, one conversion an hour. On a paid plan you can add several files to one job, then download each result on its own or all of them in one ZIP.
What happens to my FLV files after the conversion?
+
Uploaded files are processed on our own conversion servers, nobody looks at them, and they are not shared. The upload and the converted file are both deleted automatically about 24 hours after the conversion, which leaves time to download the result. See /privacy/ for the full policy.
Will my MPG play on phones, tablets, and TVs?
+
MPG plays in most desktop players but is sometimes unsupported on mobile and TV. For broadest reach, consider MP4 instead.
Do I need to install software to convert FLV to MPG?
+
No. The converter runs entirely in your browser plus our cloud — no plugin, no install, no admin rights. It works on Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, iOS, and Android.
Do I need an account to convert FLV to MPG?
+
Yes. One conversion an hour is free, with no account needed, for a file within the free size limit. A paid plan removes the hourly limit and the size limit, and lets you add several files to one job.
Is there an API for FLV to MPG conversion?
+
Yes. Every conversion this site offers is also exposed via a JSON API — see /api/ for endpoints, authentication, and rate limits. FLV to MPG is one of the supported pairs.
What if my FLV fails to convert to MPG?
+
Failures are usually caused by corrupted source files or unsupported FLV variants. Re-export from the original app and try again; if it still fails, the contact page forwards the file to support so we can diagnose.
