F4V is a streaming media format developed by Adobe in order to meet the high definition era. As a smaller but clearer format, F4V is more conducive to network transmission, and is widely used in today's mainstream video broadcasting websites. However, compared with AVI, F4V appears relatively late. So there are many video players, such as Windows Media Player, do not support playing video in F4V format.
