This flash video format is defined by the Adobe systems and is commonly used for online videos. There are multiple users of the flash video format such as YouTube, Hulu, VEVO, Yahoo! and other services that you serf online on your iPhone, iPad, or laptop. One can access the flash video on various operating systems by enabling the Adobe Flash Player and web browser plugin or other third-party programs except for iOS.

FLV files use the H.263 standard under the Sorenson Spark (FourCCFLV1) codec, and there are various reasons for it, such as;

• These are the first codec files that are supported by Flash Player.
• The heavy usage throughout other versions being able to support this same codec.

The audio can be recorded over the video using a microphone and Nellymoser Asao codec. By using the bitmap tile and lossy compression while reducing color depth, the screen share is possible. But the primary difference is that the screen share done by the 2nd way is only compatible with Flash Player 8.

Like the MKV file extension, the WEBM royalty-free extension is developed by various online parties such as Google. It is a freeware offering streaming of online video content. It was first developed in 2010. By using the HTML5 version of YouTube, one can watch videos encoded in WEBM.

Encoding and decoding in open-source WEBM video format are possible while using the ffvp8 software or libvpx from the Google support. When it comes to the Android, support a version of 2.3 (Gingerbread) and above, allowing playback of WEBM format can be used for encoding and decoding. Back in 2001, using Rockchip, a full hardware implementation of 1080p VO8 encoding was made possible. The video element of the file is encoded using VP8 video codec, and the audio component of the file is encoded using the Vorbis audio codec. It provides open video compression for HTML5 videos, and most major web browsers support WebM as a part of HTML5 video delivery. However, some programs like Quicktime and browsers like Internet Explorer and Safari do not have native WebM support. Fortunately, the Google WebM Project Team released plugins for Internet Explorer and Safari in 2011 to allow WebM files' playback through the standard HTML5 video tag.
