flv files play on my windows machine not on my N900. Currently I use Firefoxe's "download helper" extension to convert my flv files to mp4 or mov. The mp4 quality is good. The mov quality is better although the file size is larger, but I have plenty of room on my N900. The conversion process runs from windows to DOS so it's relatively fast.

Copernicus's settings on Handbrake produces a quality mp4. But since the conversion process runs on Windows, it takes a long time.

Would running the linux version of Handbrake be faster? Since I'm windows I'm not sure how to make a linux boot cd and get handbrake on there too.
