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.

WVE is the audio format native to the Psion Series 3 family of personal digital assistants, released by British company Psion PLC beginning in September 1991. These clamshell PDAs included a built-in voice recorder, and all dictation functionality relied on WVE files to store captured sound. Each file begins with the ASCII signature "ALawSoundFile**" followed by a minimal header, then raw A-law encoded audio sampled at 8 kHz — a rate inherited from digital telephony standards. At 8000 bytes per second, a one-minute recording occupies just 480 KB, which was essential given that Psion devices stored data on SRAM cards typically ranging from 128 KB to 2 MB. The A-law encoding provides reasonable speech clarity within these tight storage constraints, prioritizing intelligibility over high-fidelity reproduction. WVE files can be converted to WAV or other modern formats using SoX, Awave Studio, or specialized Psion file utilities. While the format is firmly a product of early-1990s handheld computing, it holds historical significance as one of the first audio recording formats designed for pocket-sized consumer devices. Collectors and researchers studying mobile computing history occasionally encounter WVE files when recovering data from legacy SRAM media.
