This article is to show you graphically how to convert the FLV to DV, a highly compressed video format that could be edited on the PC.

What is FLV?

Here I’d like to start with some explanation of FLV and DV.

FLV, Flash video, is a preferred file format that is designed for web playback, offering high rates of compression to deliver video over the Internet using Adobe Flash Player.

FLV content cannot be played back directly but must be embedded in (or linked from) an SWF file. You create (or download) a “container” SWF file from which to play the FLV file. The most common approach is to use an SWF file that functions as a media player with screen and playback controls.

Videos posted by the public audience on such video sharing sites as YouTube, Google Video, Yahoo! Video and MySpace, Dailymotion, etc, are all in the file format of FLV.

What is DV?
DV is an international standard created by a consortium of 10 companies for a consumer digital video format, including that of Panasonic, Sony, Philips Electronics, Sharp, etc. Since then many others have joined the group.
DV, originally known as DVC (Digital Video Cassette), uses a 1/4 inch metal evaporate tape to record very high quality digital video. The sampled video is compressed using a Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), the same sort of compression used in motion-JPEG. However, DV’s DCT allows for more local optimization within the frame than JPEG compressors, allowing for higher quality at the nominal 5:1 compression factor than a JPEG frame would show.
What DV adopts is intraframe compression: each compressed frame depends entirely on itself, and not on any data from preceding or following frames. However, it also uses adaptive interfiled compression.

Unlike traditional analog video, which is captured frame by frame on a tape, digital video is recorded digitally, as ones and zeros. Since it is stored in a digital format, digital video can be recognized and edited by a computer, which is also a digital device.
Because of this advantage of DV format, conversion from FLV Flash video to DV has a wide range of application.

This is how we can convert FLV files to the DV format:

In order to finish this guide, please install the Moyea program of FLV conversion.
