I'm trying to convert a couple of 30 minute videos that are in mp4 format to flv. The problem is that I often have to convert them to avi first then to flv... i've been able to do this with smaller videos but the larger ones only yield about 2-5 mins... is there a limit to the size of a flv file using ffmegx? If so, how can I get around this so I can get these converted? Thanks!
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

I just successfully converted a 28 min XviD AVI to FLV, and also an H.264 MP4 to FLV directly. I couldn't reproduce your 2-5 mins issue. I have no idea why it would cause this problem for you.
Perhaps you can give some parameters of this source file. Maybe there are file specific things going on. -

Seems that stream 1 comes from film source: 1000.00 (1000/1) -> 30.00 (30/1)
Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from '/Users/tjfisher/Desktop/chep1.mp4':
Duration: 00:26:40.3, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 547 kb/s
Stream #0.0(eng): Audio: aac, 44100 Hz, stereo
Stream #0.1(eng), 30.00 fps(r): Video: mpeg4, yuv420p, 320x240
Codec type mismatch for mapping #0.0 -> #0.0
This is the info I get after converting the .mp4 to a .avi

And yes, both those log files were created by ffmpgx. I'm going to download flvtool2... i've been transferring my converted .flv files on a thumb drive then putting them on a PC and using a meta inject for years now... I had no Idea this flvtool2 was available! Thank you! -

In more detail:
1/ Download "flvtool2-1.0.6.tgz"
2/ Decompress "flvtool2-1.0.6.tgz" into "flvtool2-1.0.6.tar" (normally Safari does this for you)
3/ Decompress "flvtool2-1.0.6.tar" into folder "flvtool2-1.0.6"
4/ Open Terminal.app
5/ Type "cd " (without the quotes, including the space character)
6/ Drop the folder "flvtool2-1.0.6" onto the terminal shell window
7/ Make sure the Terminal window is still active (frontmost), then press the <enter> (or <return>) key
This should change the working directory to the "flvtool2-1.0.6" folder
You can verify this by looking at the prompt: Computer-name:/working-directory/ username$
8/ Type "ruby setup.rb config" (without the quotes), followed by the <enter> key
You should get a few lines of output with arrows (--->)
9/ Type "ruby setup.rb setup" (without the quotes), followed by the <enter> key
You should get a few lines of output with arrows (--->)
10/ Type "sudo ruby setup.rb install" (without the quotes), followed by the <enter> key
This will require that you enter your login password
You should get more lines of output, many of them starting with "install" -
