thanks again.J

You certainly could (you would need to install squeeze on the server). The
only drawback is that there is no way to notify the user whether the conversion
was successful or not when using Squeeze, unless you want to set up some sort
of loop in your application that keeps checking for the converted video. It's a
sort of sloppy approach, but it would work.

Theres also ffmpeg, a command line util that will convert from multiple formats to .flv. You could check that out as well.
