Actually FLVs in the realm of online video are deprecated. The adult industry is the only one left using this format. If you stick with FLV, that means you can only play them via Flash and not HTML5. That means 30%+ of your traffic will not be able to see your videos. The best solution is to use MP4, and then convert them server-side to FLV as well. Code your page to detect flash/desktops and show FLV to desktops and HTML5 to mobile devices. There are many players out there that will do this for you if you provide both the FLV and MP4 source for each video.
