regarding the flv format, i can open it with Gem even if Gem is not compiled with gmerlin.
that's not very extraordinaire, since Gem mostly uses frontend libraries for decoding (if installed: QuickTime, libquicktime, libavifile, libgermlin_avdec, DirectShow,...), which themselves have a plugin-architecture to be able to open multiple formats either directly or by calling backend libraries (e.g. ffmpeg).
if anything in this chain supports flv, then Gem will be play flv as well.
so far i have found that gmerlin is one of the most fullfeatured and stable decoding libraries. that's why i encourage it's use, but this is not to say that other libs aren't great as well.
