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.
MPEG
MPEG is used to store films and movies. You can upload MPEG videos to Facebook and YouTube but not to mobile-based social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. VLC is the best media player to play MPEG videos but they cannot be opened on QuickTime.
MPEG stands for Moving Pictures Expert Group. They are usually compressed as MPEG2 or MPEG4, which makes them quicker to download and easier to stream. Videos stored as MPEG are of a higher quality than rivaling formats, as they can compress data at a higher rate. MPEG4 files are best for mobile devices as they are compressed into smaller file sizes than MPEG2.
