FLV is one of the video file formats supported by Adobe Flash Player. It is a container that holds digital Audio and Video data within. For processing this digital data and presenting it as video content, Adobe Flash Player is required as the standard application.
Flash Video file (.flv) is quite famous and common for delivering web video content, which requires Flash Video Player for playing it; also, by installing a Web Browser Plugin, one can play Flash Video file.
Like any other media file or digital file, the FLV file can also turn corrupt, and won’t remain playable in any video player. It could be onerous to find the reason why the FLV file got corrupt, as different reasons can lead to the same situation, and before we discuss the solution, let’s talk why the FLV video file corrupts?
Why FLV Video File Corrupts?
When video file(s) are transferred from one PC to removable media or vice-versa, the standard way to eject the removable media drive is to click on Eject notification balloon first and then select Eject Removable Media Drive. Doing this tells the system to halt the connection with the drive and complete any pending read/write process – if any, but most of the PC users don’t follow this standard drill, which results in video file corruption.
For Windows environment, it is like mandatory to have the Antivirus software installed, but not all do it due to various reasons behind. Consequently, as with the most digital files, Virus attacks damages multimedia files too.
When you download a video file, the system retrieves the data in blocks – small parts, from an online server, an unstable Internet connection makes the job hard, and it is possible that some of the data blocks would be missed during the download, corrupting the video file.
More reasons stand legit in the same context.
