My website has a number of instructional videos that would be very helpful to be viewable on an iPad.

The video player is SWF, and the video itself is FLV.

Questions:


Can I replace the flash player swf app with a different container that will play the FLV video content? Or...
Do I have to also re-encode the video to a different format?
... and what would that format be?

You'll need to reencode the video and use HTML 5's new <video> tag. Fortunately it's backward compatible so you can use it and have it fall back to flash if the browser doesn't support <video> yet. The encoding most commonly supported thus far is H.264.

This site may help you get started as it has demos available.
