All this is quite confusing and does not explain why, when installing new apps with Cydia, you see a Linux terminal which clearly installs Debian Linux packages for the arm architecture (*arm.deb files).
I am a iPhone noob, but was excited as I saw this, as I was/still try to get a arm-Debian Linux OS to work on the Moto V8.
So any thoughts about this?

Search for iMobileCinema in Cydia. Install the source that appears, then install the extension.

i have expensive flash based web applications that are supposed to be multi-platform.
while i don't know the original poster's intent in asking the question, i do not believe the use of flash is merely a video conversion issue for some who need it.
and i hasten to point out that flash apps can and are embedded in acrobat pro authored pdf-s so that blows the video conversion tactic right out of the water, sadly.
