- FLV — Flash Video ClipThe clip as Flash Video (.flv) with H.264 — the legacy web-streaming container. For testing FLV demuxing and conversion to MP4.
- Codec — Sorenson Spark (FLV1)The shared pan-city base plate encoded with FLV1 / Sorenson Spark. The Flash video codec. Entirely historical for delivery, but FLV files persist throughout media archives and legacy CMS exports. Every clip in this group carries the identical picture, so a decoder-support matrix built from them isolates the codec as the only variable.
