How to Convert FLV to MP4 (When Media Encoder Doesn't Work!)

Written By Paul Wilson

In this tutorial, I'll show you the quickest and easiest way to convert old FLV (Flash Video) files into MP4 format so you can use them in the all-new Adobe Captivate. If you’ve been creating e-learning for years, as I have, you likely have a library full of legacy assets. Since Adobe has moved away from Flash, many modern tools—including Adobe Media Encoder—no longer support FLV files. I’ll walk you through using HandBrake, a powerful open-source tool, to batch-convert your videos without sacrificing quality. We will then import the newly captured MP4s back into Adobe Captivate Classic to ensure your projects are ready for the future.

What you’ll learn in this video:

  • Why does Adobe Media Encoder no longer support FLV?

  • How to export legacy video assets from your Captivate Library.

  • Step-by-step instructions for batch-converting files in HandBrake.

  • How to replace slide videos in Adobe Captivate with your new MP4s.

  • Tips for aligning and updating your e-learning courses for the latest version of Captivate.
