Can it be done?

I have to prepare a presentation for a class and I need to show a
five-minute video in FLV format. I am using OOo 2.4 on Linux. I can do
Insert > Movie and Sound and it opens a folder where I can browse. When
I open the folder containing the .flv file the file does not appear. On
the bottom the browser window says "All movie and sound files." I take
this to mean that .flv is not a supported format. Is that correct? If
so, does anyone know of a way to convert an .flv file to some supported
format?

ffmpeg will do it.

    man ffmpeg in a terminal


    ffmpeg -i {input.file} {output.avi}

I have not tried it on that many files yet.

You may have to install ffmpeg onto your system using yum or apt as required.
