Flippy turns OGG into FLV for free: upload the OGG above and download it wrapped as FLV, sound untouched.

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. Nothing is re-recorded: the sound in your OGG crosses over untouched, and the FLV that comes out is built for nothing new: today it's mostly old downloads waiting to be rescued.

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.

Weak spot everyday device support: car stereos and Apple hardware mostly shrug playing anywhere at all since Flash was switched off in 2020

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?

It scales with length and resolution: short clips finish in seconds, long HD videos can take a few minutes. Files auto-delete within an hour after.
