f4v Not Playing

We are streaming live events encoding using H.264, so therefore we have to save the file as a .f4v. However, whenever I try to play the file, I keep getting a "playback failed" in Adobe Media Player. What could I be missing? Is there anything else I need to do in Flash Media Live Encoder?

    If you are streaming the file, it should play.  If you are trying to play from your local desktop you will need to use the F4V Post Processor that is available for download from the FMS tools page.

    I have converted the F4V to a single moof atom file and it now plays in Media Player and I can create a SWF player to play the video file but my question is, how do I convert the F4V single moof atom file into a FLV? Media Encoder will not except it

    Thank you,
