You can convert FLV to MP4 using various software available online. But what is the point? There's a better solution if you need to play FLV on an iPhone.

I bet you’ve been searching the Internet for decent software to play FLV on your iPhone. If so, you are probably at a dead end since there are few reliable web applications.

Of course, there is VLC, and you are absolutely free to convert FLV files to MP4 with this player. But if you want to put the video on your iPhone, there’s a better way! Better means faster, simpler, and much more straightforward.

DISCLAIMER: The method presented below works only for converting FLV to MP4 for iPhone, iPad, or iPod.

What is FLV?

FLV is a flash file format that is most commonly used to play in a browser plug-in or flash player. A range of video-sharing websites use it for online playback.

Well, the video is about MKV files but there’s no difference when it gets to FLV files. Speaking of MKV, here’s a quick way to convert MKV to MP4 if needed.

How to Play FLV on iPhone

It’s no secret that iPads, iPods, and iPhones are equipped with last-generation displays. No arguments, this makes watching movies on these devices an incredible experience.

But when it comes to movie playback on iOS devices, you always encounter a format barrier. For example, the quite common MKV format is NOT supported by Apple’s native software. You can also convert M4V to MP4, another format that iOS devices don’t support natively.

To play it back, you must install any third-party player onto your device and go through the hassle of converting.

The alternative way is to use WALTR PRO. This is a critically-acclaimed application for Mac and Windows that gets any file format (including FLV) to your iPhone or iPad with 0 issues.
