F4V is the F4V streaming media format that Adobe has supported in order to meet the high-definition era, following the FLV format. The main difference between it and FLV is that the FLV format uses the H263 encoding, while the F4V supports the high-definition video encoded with H. 50Mbps.
Now the mainstream video sites (such as Qi Yi, potatoes, cool 6, Youku) and other sites are beginning to use H264 encoded F4V files, H264 encoded F4V files, the same file size, the clarity is significantly better than On2 VP6 and H263 encoded FLV. Most of the videos released by potatoes and 56 have been f4v, but the download suffix is flv, which is also one of the F4V features.
Second, f4v how to open
As a smaller and clearer format that is more conducive to the spread of the web, F4V has gradually replaced traditional FLV, which has also been played by most mainstream players, without the need for complex ways such as conversion. If a player cannot open a video in F4V format, you can change the suffix name to FLV without affecting playback and video effects.
