FLV to AIFF: what changes in the file

This tool takes a FLV file, processes it with FFmpeg on DownloadVideo.vn servers and returns a AIFF file.

The picture track of the FLV is dropped; only the audio is kept and packaged as AIFF.

FLV is lossy while AIFF stores data exactly. The AIFF file will be larger but not better: detail discarded by FLV cannot be restored.

Measured with a sample file

On September 25, 2026 we ran the tool on our production server with a sample file: a 10-second 1280×720 video (FLV1 + MP3), 9.6 MB.

Result: 9.6 MB → 1.7 MB, processed in 3.7 s. Output: PCM 16 bit audio at 44.1 kHz stereo, 1411 kbps.

Real sizes depend on your content (how complex the picture and sound are, and the length); the figures only show the order of change.

Before you convert

  • The tool always re-encodes the picture and sound, even when the source codec would already fit the target format.
  • Up to 500 MB per file; a conversion that runs longer than 10 minutes is cancelled.
  • The file is sent to our server for conversion and deleted as soon as processing ends, including when it fails.

Frequently asked questions

Is the picture from the FLV kept in the AIFF?

No. AIFF is an audio format, so only the sound is kept.

Does converting FLV to AIFF improve quality?

No. AIFF only stores exactly what is left in the FLV; what was lost when the FLV was compressed does not come back. The file just gets larger.

How does the file size change from FLV to AIFF?

With our sample file: 9.6 MB → 1.7 MB. Your file may differ depending on its content.
