An old page may still have an FLV file from a Flash-era media library. Converting the recording to WebM can supply a video file for a newer player. The page itself still needs to be updated and tested; the converted file does not migrate its embed code.

Adobe Flash Video — legacy streaming format
Open web video format optimized for streaming
FLV was widely used alongside Flash-based video delivery. A site migration may uncover an FLV file whose accompanying player no longer runs in modern browsers. The useful asset is the picture and any recorded sound inside that file. Check whether the FLV is complete and whether the desired edit is actually in it before exporting. An archived page may point to a preview, a shorter cut, or a different language version; choosing the right source is more important than choosing an output suffix.
WebM output does not replace Flash scripts, embed markup, playlists, or access controls. Those belong to the publishing system. Ask the site owner where the new video source will be linked and whether a second playback format is needed. Keep the FLV as a migration source until the rebuilt page is accepted.
Inspect any opening title card, lower-third names, and slide text after conversion. Old FLV recordings may have small dimensions or visible compression artifacts; a WebM export cannot recover missing resolution. Re-encoding may change how fine text, motion, or gradients appear, so compare several representative frames rather than only the thumbnail. Listen to the final audio as well, especially if the source used a low-bitrate soundtrack. A converted file can be technically valid yet unsuitable for the page's actual content requirements.
If the original website supplied captions or a transcript separately, restore and check those assets through the page workflow. This route does not promise to carry them into WebM. It also does not promise a smaller file: inspect the result's size and playback behavior before deciding whether it meets the site's delivery budget.
Upload the candidate WebM using the site's authorized publishing process and review the page where visitors will encounter it. Confirm that controls work, the first frame is meaningful, and audio is present when expected. Test a narrow layout if the player will appear on phones, and keep an alternative source available if the audience's supported browsers require one. Record which FLV file the new WebM came from; future editors should not have to reconstruct a migration from filenames alone.
No. It creates a WebM video file; the website's player and embed code must be updated separately.
No. Re-encoding cannot create source detail that was never present.
Check how the old site stored them. This route does not guarantee that caption files or tracks move into the WebM output.
