Play flash(flv/f4v) videos on iPad 2

The newly released iPad 2 does look like a very well-designed and beautiful device. It may be used to search the Internet, watch movies and videos, listen to music, use art programs, read/send e-mail, read e-books, play games, keep a calendar, watch TV, use maps, or to look at and organize photos. The iPad, however, won't run flash content at all. That means you won't be able to watch videos from Hulu and the adobe flash is kept away from your touch. Still you could watch the flash videos downloaded from Youtube or Hulu on iPad------Pavtube FLV Converter could convert flash videos (*.flv, *.f4v) to H.264 or MPEG-4 encoded videos that are compatible with iPad.

Is there a way to edit the screen ratio on my iPad 3 HD?

There is no way to edit the screen ratio on the new iPad or any iPad for that matter. They went with 4:3 because the majority of users use the device to browse the internet and read e-magazines or e-books on it. As you know the screen gets cut off when you go to fullscreen or it has those annoying black bars above and below.
If you're looking to watch video do it on a computer or your TV. The new iPad isn't made for heavy video watching IMO.
