I should add that at the moment I'm using these arguments:

-i flv/ronen-2011_03_07.flv
-acodec libfaac
-ab 32k
-ar 22050
-s 320x204
-padtop 18
-padbottom 18
-padleft 0
-padright 0
-vcodec mpeg4
-b 32k
-map_meta_data flv/ronen-2011_03_07.flv:mp4/ronen-2011_03_07.mp4 
mp4/ronen-2011_03_07.mp4

Thanks,
John.
