    About FLV and MOV

    FLV: FLV is the Flash Video format that powered early YouTube. Flash is gone, so FLV files usually need converting to play today.

    MOV: MOV is Apple's QuickTime format and the default for videos recorded on iPhone. Recent iPhones record MOV files in HEVC (H.265), which many Windows PCs and older Android phones can't play.
