About formats

FLV (Flash Video) is a container format originally developed by Macromedia and later maintained by Adobe Systems after the 2005 acquisition. The format gained support for standalone playback with Flash Player 7 in 2003 and quickly became the dominant video format on the web, powering platforms like YouTube, Hulu, and Vimeo during the late 2000s. FLV files typically contain video encoded with the Sorenson Spark or VP6 codec alongside MP3 or ADPCM audio, wrapped in a lightweight proprietary container optimized for streaming delivery. The major strength of FLV was its ability to deliver consistent video playback across different operating systems and browsers through the ubiquitous Flash Player plugin, solving the fragmentation problem that plagued web video at the time. FLV files begin with a compact header followed by tagged data packets, a structure that enables fast seeking and efficient progressive download. The container supports embedded metadata with cue points, enabling interactive features like chapter navigation and timed events. FLV transformed online video from an unreliable niche experience into a mainstream medium, fundamentally reshaping entertainment, education, and communication on the internet. Although HTML5 video and modern codecs have replaced Flash-based delivery, FLV files remain in countless archives and legacy systems.

PRC is an audio file format associated with Psion handheld organizers, particularly the Series 3 and Series 5 lines from the 1990s. These pocket computers included built-in microphones and basic voice recording capabilities, storing captured audio in the PRC container. The encoding is typically ADPCM-based (Adaptive Differential Pulse-Code Modulation), balancing file size against audio intelligibility given the severe storage constraints of early PDAs — the original Psion Series 3 had just 256 KB of RAM doubling as storage. PRC audio is generally mono at low sample rates (often 8 kHz), optimized for speech rather than music. One advantage was tight integration with the EPOC operating system (later evolving into Symbian), letting users embed voice notes directly in agenda entries and database records. The compact file sizes — a minute of speech consumed only a few kilobytes — made it feasible to store dozens of memos on devices with minimal memory. While PRC audio is a legacy format today, conversion tools exist for extracting recordings from archived Psion devices, which remain collectible among retro computing enthusiasts.
