Key Distinctions between FLV, MP4 and MOV are:
- FLV (Flash Video): Designed for the now outdated Adobe Flash Player. Prioritizes small file sizes, making it popular in the earlier days of web video. Its compatibility and video quality are surpassed by newer formats.
- MP4 (MPEG-4): The modern king of video. A versatile container format that balances quality and file size well. MP4s work seamlessly across devices and web browsers, making them the standard choice for sharing and streaming video online.
- MOV (QuickTime): Apple’s preferred video format, often used for professional video editing. MOV files can provide excellent quality but may be less convenient outside of the Apple ecosystem due to compatibility issues on some platforms.
