Public bug reported:

As described here:

  http://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=3840

it looks like unless users install a video player that will add a
mimetype for .flv files, IE will send a generic one (application/octet-
stream) to Mahara and so the file won't be recognized as a video file
that can be selected by Mahara.
