First time slower, but it's worth it!About types of files
FLV
FLV was once the go-to format for streaming video on the web, especially on platforms like Twitch before the rise of MP4. It’s optimized for online playback, making it great for streaming or recording but less ideal for other uses.While it’s still supported by some older systems and platforms, FLV has largely fallen out of favor as newer formats like MP4 offer better compression and quality.
However, FLV remains popular to many, for example a lot of OBS Studio users still uses it for recording because it has a unique advantage: if a recording session crashes or there's insufficient disk space on the machine, the FLV file can often still be read and recovered.
This makes it a reliable choice for those who want to minimize the risk of losing their footage.
M4A
M4A is an audio format similar to AAC and is often used for music and audiobooks, especially within Apple's ecosystem.It offers better sound quality than MP3 at similar file sizes, making it a popular choice for digital downloads from platforms like iTunes.
Because of it similarity with MP4 (they both use MPEG4 codec) M4A files are compatible with most modern devices, though they're most commonly associated with Apple products.
