Default converting flv videos for playing on curve 8900

I converted all my flv video clips to mp4 format and transfered those mp4 files to my BB. When I played those video clips, I was astonished to see that the display was pixalated, plus the lips movements did not match the sound. May be this is because the mp4 file size is very heavy for the bb to handle. (The mp4 file size is 5 times the size of flv file)

Can I convert my flv video clips to any other format which my BB Curve 8900 can play perfectly?

Really, I am very disappointed. These clips used to play perfectly on my Nokia N78. I have upgraded from Nokia N78 to BB Curve 8900 only to get shocked twice. The first shock was that the flv file can't be played on my bb. Second, when converted to mp4, the flv video file becomes to heavy for the bb to handle - thus the pixelated display. Now, what to do? Plz. help.

I used Doubletwist for mac to convert videos straight from youtube to play on my 8900 without any problem.

Go back to the Nokia. The 8900 is not a media toy. Hi res conversion from flv is not ideal.
