I use VLC and convert my FLV to MP4 by frist MP4 and video set to H264 then audio MP4(AAC). Also remember to change to".MP4" after the file name.

There's no VLC app for WP currently that can play videos. Just fyi, MKV format is also not supported.
Just do a google search on "Converting video files to mp4" as suggested by @gravydre, and then transfer it to your 520.

Put your files outside the videos folder and open using 'Kirik SD File Viewer' and 'FLV video player' apps

DVDvideosoft's converters have served me well.

I have yet to find a mobile device that supports FLV out-of-the-box

Hi Amit,
you just need to install MoliPlayer Pro to play those videos.
Good Luck
