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.
AVI
AVI is the most compatible video format for Windows devices. You can upload it to Facebook and YouTube, but not to other mobile-based social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok.
AVI files tend to be larger in size (because they use less compression than video formats like MP4). The most compatible media player for AVI videos is VLC. AVI is not compatible with QuickTime (the default player on Apple devices). AVI stands for Audio Video Interleave. AVI files can contain audio and video content, as well as codecs for DVD and XVid.
