How to convert MOV to FLV with Free MOV to FLV Converter How to convert MOV to FLV with Free MOV to FLV Converter

As FLV and MOV are both popular video formats, the question you might have is why to convert these types of files? Well, the reason lies in the fact that, even though MOV files (also known as QuickTime videos) are supported by many media players on both Windows and Mac computers, several video sharing websites, like the famous Youtube or Google Video, allow you to upload only videos stored as FLV files. Besides that, there isn't actually any other reason for turning MOV videos into FLV, as the first one, compared to Flash videos, is supported by a larger number of applications and even some mobile devices.

For demonstrating the conversion process, I have chosen Free MOV to FLV Converter 4.8 (Freeware) by 77Freeware, Inc., mostly because it is a free tool that comes with multiple customization features, all organized in a simple and intuitive interface. It can also batch convert files so that you can save your precious time dealing with multiple video files.

You should pay extra attention during the installation as the tool can install additional applications (adware).
