I know for Mp4s you have to pay, so I wanted to find out if you had to pay if you earnt money off .flv files, like by monetizing youtube videos etc

you don't pay container, you pay the encoder... for mp4 if you encode in H264 so yes there is a patent on it, but with adobe media encoder it should be ok. for flv same story.
