How do I get .flv files to play in iMovie?

You need to convert the .flv files first. You can convert your video here: http://media-convert.com/

Imovie Flv

Try converting first the FLV files you downloaded to AVI or WMV before doing something with the file. There are numerous sites who offered free converter of FLV files. What you are going to do is just to download and the movie presentation is already readable by your favorite player. Good luck. Alex G

Since it doesnt support the FLV files, you'll have to convert it. Use this program, it does a pretty good job.
