It seems that it’s now possible to upload straight FLV files via the web-based Google Video upload page. What’s more, the FLV files go live instantly, instead of waiting in queue to be encoded. I have only tested this with FLV1. The Desktop Google Video Uploader still does not seem to accept FLV files, but it still may be possible to upload an FLV file with an AVI extension, if Google’s system ignores the extension once it’s uploaded. I’m testing that now.

Anyway, FYI, for anyone who cares about the quality of the contend they’re uploading.

UPDATE: It is now also possible to upload huge FLV files via the Google Desktop Uploader, so long as you rename your file’s extension to .avi.
