Why convert FLV files to Facebook format?

Converting FLV files to Facebook-compatible formats ensures that legacy Flash videos play correctly on modern browsers and mobile devices where Flash support no longer exists.

Can all FLV files be directly converted without quality loss?

Only FLV files containing modern codecs like H.264 and AAC can be remuxed without quality loss; other files require transcoding that may affect video quality.

What should I expect if transcoding is required?

Transcoding involves re-encoding the video and audio streams, which takes more time and may reduce the overall quality depending on codec and encoder settings.
