How do I convert a .avi file to a .flv file?

How do I convert a .avi file to a .flv file? I've been sent a .avi file that I need to convert to flash format to put online. What free software is there that will do this? I have Ubuntu and Windows 7 to work with so any software for either system will do.

"FFMPEG.

example:

/path/to/ffmpeg -i input.avi -f flv output.flv"

In addition to John T, mlambie and Chealion's answers, and if you're not so keen on the command line, I would recommend you to try SUPER, which is actually a GUI on top of ffmpeg (and other encoders).
