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

It sounds backwards, but WMA to FLV is a real need: plenty of platforms and tools only accept video, so Flippy re-packs your WMA audio inside an FLV wrapper. Nothing is re-recorded: the sound in your WMA 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 WMA to FLV

WMA is Windows' old house band: big in the early 2000s, mostly retired now. It was born in 1999, Microsoft, and its real weak spot is the modern world: Apple devices, browsers and most apps have moved on.

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.

Questions people ask

Will converting WMA 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 WMA?

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 WMA behind: FLV simply opens in more of the places that matter.

How long does WMA 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.
