I can't speak for what encoder cbsnews is using, but two things:

1) You can encode into flv using ffmpeg from just about any format you can
imagine. Just google your input video format, ffmpeg, and flv. For example:
"mov to flv using ffmpeg"

2) If you want to watch youtube videos offline, just use this web tool or
use google to find a million alternatives: keepvid.com.
