What changes when you convert FLV to WMA
This extracts the audio and discards the video entirely. The soundtrack inside a FLV file is typically AAC, and it is re-encoded to WMA on the way out.
Expect a much smaller file. Video accounts for most of the bytes, so about 34 MB per minute becomes roughly 1 MB per minute of WMA.
About FLV to WMA Conversion
Extracting WMA audio from a FLV video pulls the soundtrack out of the Flash Video container and writes it as a standalone ASF file. The video stream, which holds most of the data, is discarded.
Developed by Adobe (Macromedia) in 2002, FLV stores audio using H.264, Sorenson Spark, VP6. That codec choice sets the upper bound on what any conversion can preserve.
WMA, from Microsoft and dating to 1999, uses WMA, WMA Pro and plays natively on 1 of the six platform categories we track. That combination is usually why people convert into it.
After converting your file, you can use Scriptivox transcription services to convert your audio to text. Perfect for meetings, interviews, podcasts, and more.
