Many videos you downloaded from video sharing sites like YouTube, MySpace, Google Video, etc. are in FLV format, which is short for Flash Video. It is a widely used video format for streaming video over the Internet. But if you want to play FLV videos on portable devices like Apple iPad, you'll find iPad couldn't recognize FLV format at all.
