OMG it worked. I spent over an hour dinking with it, I totally didn't think it was going to be a go. Especially not with all the doomsaying that VisualHub was on borrowed time under Lion. (For ref, I'm running Mavericks.) VisualHub is no longer supported, and hasn't been for a while.
So that you can do it in less time than I required:
Go here. Download three different files: the main softpedia download, the FFMPEG installer, and the Lion Updater.
Install FFMPEG first. (You'll possibly need to select "open" from the ctrl-click context menu.)
Open VisualHub (again by selecting open from the ctrl-click menu). It'll prolly fuss about needing to download some things. Hit cancel and close.
Open and run the Lion Updater. It will open VisualHub and do some stuff to it, then declare itself done.
Open VisualHub, which should now be behaving nicely.
And that was sufficient to get my copy running.
To make FLVs, select "Flash" from the "To:" menu across the top, then check "raw .flv format."
...which is straightforward enough, but I kept ending up at doomsaying pages, or pages that only had one of the three things, etc.
I haven't yet played with getting my file under 50MB, but there's a quality slider right there, so...
ETA: Under "Advanced" there's a ticky to "Keep each video under [[ ]] MB." I typed in "50", and it brought it in at 49.4! Sweet!
