It will only play .swf files
flv files are a proprietary format that only play in Adobe Flash player. If you want to watch a flv video you would need to convert it to swf so that it's embedded. There is software out there that will do this. http://www.windfile.com/Dir/Audio-Multimedia/Rippers-Converters/35440.exe is one.
However I don't know how well it will play since the D2 only works with Flash Lite stuff.
FlashLite 2.1 dowsn't support flash video... FlashLite 3.0 (TBR) will support flash video, let's hope Cowon will update their FW when it'll be released :)

FlashLite is made by Adobe so there isn't any problem with it... it's just the fact that FLP2.1 doesn't support video content :) See my previous post
I have succesfully used JetAudio to convert my .flv to .avi, and play them on my D2.
I checked JetAudio to find 'all files' when finding the .flv video I wanted on my D2, and then coverted with no hassles. Only problem I ran into was that it wouldn't play the first time, then I deleted and copied the same file back onto my d2 and it worked finally.
jetaudio version 6.2.8.9938 Basic VX
d2 firmware V2.53
