For converting raw video files into flv I use the EasyFLV converter from as well as their multitrack and batch streaming software.

Here are a lot of different types I have tried but I found this good enough to buy myself and I have had no problems or complaints as yet.

I use Flash to Video Encoder PRO. It's the best!

Having tried MANY converters out there, I prefer Replay Converter myself out of ALL of the audio/video converter programs i've tried...

It seems like Moyea Flv to Video Converter pro v2 can convert my h.264 FLV videos to AVI perfectly.

On Linux most of the current players can play FLV files directly. But sometimes I run across machines with outdated software, then I move the data into some other container. MP4 or MKV usually work.

ffmpeg -i somefile.flv -vcodec copy -acodec copy somefile.mkv

Takes just a few seconds because it transfers the raw data unchanged, only the file headers are modified.

ffmpeg does work well for moving from a flv container to a mkv container, but in my experience it doesn't work well for moving to a mp4 container; at least if you want to be able to ff/rew or skip through the resulting output file with any of the many media players I've tried.
