Can the conversion skip re-encoding like some FLV pairings do?

No — the codecs WebM carries (VP8, VP9, AV1, Opus, Vorbis) are all absent from the FLV specification, so video and audio are both fully transcoded, normally to H.264 and AAC. This makes it one of the slower paths into FLV.

What still consumes FLV files in practice?

Leftover RTMP infrastructure from the Flash years — early Wowza and Red5 deployments, hard-coded e-learning players, and preservation projects documenting how 2000s web video worked. Nothing consumer-facing has needed FLV since Flash Player's 2020 shutdown.

How much quality will the FLV lose versus my WebM?

With H.264 at a bitrate similar to the source, the difference is small — one careful lossy generation. Keep the WebM as the master regardless: the FLV is a delivery artifact for a system on borrowed time.

Pushing WebM back into FLV serves exactly one audience: legacy Flash-era RTMP servers that modern royalty-free video can't reach otherwise. VP9 and Opus have no representation in FLV, so the file is completely re-encoded, typically to H.264 with AAC.

Why convert WEBM to FLV?

Inject freshly recorded web content into an unmigrated Red5 or early-Wowza streaming rig.
Populate historical Flash player setups maintained for software-preservation projects.
Satisfy an old contract or delivery spec that literally names FLV as the required format.

Tip: If the legacy server accepts RTMP-published H.264 MP4 — most late versions did — skip FLV entirely; the same re-encode into MP4 leaves a file that outlives the Flash stack.
