Flippy turns OGG into FLV for free: upload the OGG above and download it wrapped as FLV, sound untouched. No signup, and both files delete themselves within an hour.

It sounds backwards, but OGG to FLV is a real need: plenty of platforms and tools only accept video, so Flippy re-packs your OGG audio inside an FLV wrapper. Where FLV accepts your OGG's codec the sound crosses over untouched; where it doesn't, it's re-encoded once. The FLV that comes out is built for nothing new: today it's mostly old downloads waiting to be rescued.

A classic OGG to FLV job: game audio banks and open-source project files, bound for the odd legacy pipeline that still demands Flash video.

Why flip OGG to FLV

OGG is the free spirit of audio: open, patent-free, and quietly brilliant at looping game sound. It was born in 2002, the Xiph.Org Foundation, and its real weak spot is everyday device support: car stereos and Apple hardware mostly shrug.

FLV is a relic of the Flash era: the format YouTube grew up on, stranded when Flash died. The Flash Video container, typically holding old H.263, VP6 or early H.264 streams. That makes it the right destination when what you need is nothing new: today it's mostly old downloads waiting to be rescued.

Best settings for OGG to FLV

Settings for OGG to FLV: none to pick. Where the FLV container accepts your OGG's audio codec, the stream is copied bit for bit; where it doesn't, Flippy re-encodes it once and leaves the levels alone.

OGG vs FLV, side by side

OGG FLV
Born 2002, the Xiph.Org Foundation 2002, Macromedia (later Adobe), for Flash Player
Type audio · lossy video · container
Best for games and open projects that want seamless loops and zero licensing strings nothing new: today it's mostly old downloads waiting to be rescued
Weak spot everyday device support: car stereos and Apple hardware mostly shrug playing anywhere at all since Flash was switched off in 2020
Typical size on par with MP3, often a touch smaller at matching quality for video content, small files with dial-up-era expectations about quality; wrapping audio alone stays about the size of the OGG
Plays on Browsers, Android, game engines; not the Apple ecosystem. Almost nothing modern; VLC and converters are its retirement home.

Questions people ask

Will converting OGG to FLV lose quality?

No. Wrapping audio in an FLV container doesn't touch the sound itself: it's the same stream in a different box.

Will the FLV file be bigger or smaller than my OGG?

About the same, plus a sliver of container overhead. The audio stream is unchanged; FLV just adds a video-shaped envelope.

Where will the FLV file play?

Almost nothing modern; VLC and converters are its retirement home. That's the usual reason people leave OGG behind: FLV simply opens in more of the places that matter.

How long does OGG to FLV conversion take?

Seconds for most OGG files: there are no pictures to encode, so wrapping the audio as FLV is nearly as fast as copying it. Both files auto-delete within an hour.
