FLV
FLV is designed by Adobe for transmitting video files over the internet. You can upload FLV files to Facebook and YouTube, but not to other social media and video sharing platforms. The most compatible media player for FLV files is VLC.
FLV (Flash Video) files are used for storing videos in the "Flash VIdeo" format. However, it is not a widely-used format today, because Adobe has officially discontinued Flash. You can still create and share files in the FLV file format if you use a Flash Video exporter plug-in.
MP4
MP4 is one of the most compatible video file formats. You can upload MP4 files to YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, and other social media sites. You can also play MP4 files with Windows Media Player, VLC, QuickTime, iPhone, iPad, Android, and almost all media players.
MP4 files are popular because they can be viewed almost anywhere, and even with high-quality video, the file sizes remain relatively small, making them easy to share. MP4 is short for 'MPEG4', and is a format that normally contains video and audio, but can also be used to store images and subtitles.
