flv

I have used gtk-recordMyDesktop to make a video as an OGV file using the default settings. I need to do 3 things:

How can I reduce the screen resolution (height and width) so that it can fit into a smaller video size on my website?
How can I pull out like every third frame so that the file size is not so large, yet not mess up the sound?
Not all Windows IE users can view OGV files. How can I convert to FLV (or, as a fallback, MP4) so that I can share on my blog?
