The capabilities of numerous handheld devices have developed to such a degree that video-on-the-go isn’t only possible–it’s pretty ubiquitous. It seems that for any portable entertainment and/or communications device to make a dent in the market, it will have to provide some sort of video capability, and consumer electronics manufacturers have only been too happy to fill the demand with a host of devices in which video capability comes standard.
One of the most common formats for storing video in these devices is MP4. MP4 is a remarkably handy and convenient video format that has the advantage of being able to provide high quality video and audio in a small file. This makes MP4 ideally suited to small, handheld devices such as cellphones, portable media players and digital still and video cameras.

For most users that have MP4 video files on their portable devices, the next logical step would be to share it with other people. It is easy enough to transfer these files from the portable device onto the computer hard drive of course, and from there, to upload them to the Internet. The issue that comes up however is what format to upload it in, and FLV is one of the most popular formats to come up for consideration.
Just as MP4 is a popular format option for mobile video, so is FLV the format of choice in the online world. FLV provides the same quality and size advantage as MP4, and it is widely used by many sites that offer video content.
