More about FLV and iPhone
The iPhone supported video formats are M4V, MP4, MOV, and AVI. The native media player for iPhone is QuickTime and as stated above, it can't read FLV files. The Adobe Flash Player can't be installed on an iPhone either. What users can do instead is to download any converter software that can transform FLV files into a format recognizable by the player installed on their device. There are many conversion apps today and most of them can do the trick. Users can also opt to convert the files on their desktop or laptop computers before transferring it to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod.
