Converting FLV (Flash Video) files on a Windows PC can present several challenges, primarily due to the evolving landscape of video formats, software support, and the decline of Flash technology.

However, as web technologies have advanced, Flash has been deprecated and is no longer supported by most modern browsers and platforms. This decline has led to reduced support for FLV in newer software.
As FLV usage has decreased, fewer video editing and conversion tools continue to prioritize support for this format. Some contemporary software might not include FLV as a native supported format. This makes flv to mp4 conversion more cumbersome on Windows PC.
