So I doubt FFMpeg will ever fully support it.
Yup, I just tested it - mpg to flv works fine on 7 but on 8 gives zero.

(My sound problem was mp4 to flv.)

Still, from what I've seen encoded so far, there isn't a huge difference in filesize between mp4 and flv encodings, although mp4 is a bit crap for streaming w/r to user base compatability.

I'm just getting into this encoding game, so I'm a bit behind, but mp4 embedding in pdf looks to be a winner - shame damn Adobe are guarding flv embedding to pdf close to their chest. Looks like flv is going very much commercial, but not for the end user.
