Is there a transform that I could run to convert the *.flv to a *.mp4 (for instance) with no loss of visual or auditory quality?
Any assistance most gratefully apprised, thank you.

This is possible using ffmpeg. Someone gave me the correct parametrs to do this for a format OK for an iPad, but I' not sure what you would need for your particular Media Player.
Could you download and install MediaInfo from here -
http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en/Download/Windows
then in Windows Explorer, right-click
on a MP4 file that works on your Media Player, and take a look at the information?
The MediaInfo output (exported from MediaInfo in Text format) for an SBS .FLV show that I just DL @ 128K for your benefit is as follows -
