Generation loss — quality may degrade
FLV uses lossy compression, and so does DIVX. Converting means decoding and re-encoding — each cycle can permanently degrade quality. Convert from the original source file whenever possible.
Some metadata may not survive
Your FLV file may contain FLV metadata metadata. DIVX has limited or no support for these metadata types. Location data (GPS), camera settings, and color profiles may be stripped during conversion.
What compression artifacts to expect
DIVX lossy compression can produce blockiness (MPEG-4 ASP). At the high quality settings CocoConvert uses by default, these are usually invisible to the eye. Lower quality settings trade visual fidelity for smaller file sizes.
还在为FLV文件在手机上播放不流畅、分享到微信群里卡顿，或是导入剪辑软件时兼容性差而烦恼吗？尤其是在咱们日常的影音娱乐和内容创作中，FLV格式虽然曾风靡一时，但面对如今高画质、多设备的观影需求，以及对文件大小和传输速度的更高要求，它确实显得有些力不从心了。DIVX格式凭借其出色的压缩效率和广泛的设备支持，在保证画质的同时，能让您的视频文件更小巧、更易于分享和存储。无论是想在旧款播放器上流畅回放珍藏的Flash动画，还是为最新的手机设备准备高清内容，将FLV转换为DIVX，都能让您的影音体验焕然一新，享受无缝、高效的数字生活。

What Happens When You Convert FLV to DIVX
Your FLV video is transcoded — video and audio streams are decoded and re-encoded into the DIVX container. This is a lossy process that takes time proportional to the video duration.
Your FLV file is demuxed — video, audio, and subtitle streams are separated
The video stream is decoded frame-by-frame, then re-encoded with DIVX-compatible codecs (typically H.264 for MP4)
The audio stream is decoded and re-encoded (or copied if the codec is compatible)
Subtitle and chapter data is preserved where the target supports it
Streams are muxed into the DIVX container and the file is saved
