There is no way we can say that FLV is better than MP4 when the subject is online streaming and data storage. Here are some reasons why that is:

  1. FLV files are 1.22% larger than MP4 files. Thus, they are heavier to store or upload.
  2. FLV file format isn't compatible with mobile phones as there is no software to run it.
