    Ive been using this little gem with excellent results:

    Free Video Converter: convert video files easily, AVI FLV WMV MP4 MKV MOV converter.

    It's free and converts just about anything to anything. And you can even edit the video and audio within it if you wish.

    Interesting thread, from what I have found, FLV is not the best compression format, it used to be years ago, but now its not as good, (since adobe took over it)

    If you have a 192 MB MP4 file, (decent enough compression) and you move to FLV it is probably going to go higher, for example the resulting FLV file could be like 305 MB

    I would suggest, looking at "workflow" in the video world it is all about how to compress and the settings you choose to use, including the size, and the audio you use, if you can find a compressor, that uses MP3 you can really reduce the over all file size, since at runtime, the end users computer will decompress the mp3 file

    Also setting the audio at 32 instead of 124 will help, but only if there is no music in the recording, if there is music you need at least 96

    Google video workflow and best settings for compression it will give you an idea of what to look for to save on file size, it is a real challenge, even for professionals, so dont feel over whelmed, it takes time to learn these things.

    Handbrake is a great tool to convert videos. But I only convert from flv to mp4 as I find that mp4 is usually the smallest in size. If you convert the other way around, you'll most likely end up with a much larger file. I use a tool called "FLV to MP4 Converter" and it's the easiest tool I've ever found without any need to config. But it only does one thing as stated by its name.

      I like WinX HD video converter (Mac or PC), for any video conversion needs - it's a swiss army knife that can do many things. I was using handbrake a lot in the past, but it started getting buggy on me. I found WinX HD to be much faster at conversions as well. Plus sometimes I was being sent PAL content and needed NTSC and it converts this perfectly for me. Free is great, but I prefer pro results and I don't mind paying a little to get them. WinX HD was not expensive. I do a lot of flash animation and jump back and forth between quicktime and flash formats, because sometimes I mix flash animation and video. This helped me. My $.02

    If you upload the video to Youtube it will convert it to FLV for you automatically. Then you can use Keepvid to download it.
