Just wondering what format is accepted as "the best" to have your video content on. We currently have our videos in FLV format being played by a JW Player. Are FLV's iPhone compatible or should we be encoding in another format? Thanks!

FLV video is not supported on the iPhone. H.264 should be you choice if you plan on targeting the iPhone.
If you're looking into streaming the video have a look at Apple HTTP streaming which is supported by the iPhone. HTTP Streaming Architecture - Might need Apple ID to view it.

According to the iPhone SDK, You can use -
Media Player framework to display full-screen video from files in either H.264 (Baseline Profile Level 3.0) format or MPEG-4 Part 2 video (Simple Profile) format.
So I gather that the FLV video is not supported on the iPhone and you should encode the videos in one of these two formats. Also note that only full-screen video playback is supported on the device, with a fade-in transition to the player when video is started.
