PPS at a glance

PPS

Convert to PPS when you need an old-style PowerPoint show file that launches directly into presentation mode, especially for legacy playback environments or archived slide libraries.

It is useful when presentation behavior matters but the surrounding environment still uses the older binary Office stack.

For current editable workflows, PPTX or PPSX are typically better targets.

FLV at a glance

FLV

Convert to FLV when dealing with Flash-era website archives, old courseware, or inherited streaming libraries that still preserve their media in Flash Video form.

It is useful for recovery and compatibility with historical systems.

For any new online distribution, MP4 or WebM are the correct modern targets.
