OK, did you look at the output file when it stopped ? What was the size of that ?  Did you try playing it, even if it didn't complete, if you can play it, you will learn if the stuttering has stopped. Obviously saving videos uncompressed isn't feasible. I would start looking at changing the settings in OBS and using .mkv instead of .flv  I would make some short videos to test the settings and see if you can create them without the stutter on playback. Try cutting 10 minutes of the original file and saving it to another file. try playing that which I think would still stutter, then try uncompressing the shorter video. (only if you can't play the incomplete file)
So you have two things to do, find the optimal settings and output for OBS that you can play, and continue trying to convert your flv into a format that you system can play. If you can't find optimal settings for OBS, then I would think it is time to look at getting a better system to do video processing, which I think would involve a video card/chip with hardware acceleration.

I get it, the .flv file is already small so don't convert it to mp4. What do you recommend? I already tried to not convert it but the terminal complained about the raw video option not being able to play with that file format. Hmmmmm..... I suppose mov would work. No?

No. The "mp" in "mp4" stands for Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG), which implies MPEG compression (MPEG-4 Part 14, specifically).

Compression here is the opposite of what you're trying to achieve.

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vcodec rawvideo -pix_fmt bgr24 output.avi 
should be the one. but would 
ffmpeg -i input.flv -vcodec rawvideo -pix_fmt bgr24 output.mp4 

give me a conversion from flv (the original format) to mp4 with just a stream of pictures like we want?

OK, the file you are trying to convert is already as small as it is going to get.    This from fileinfo.com:  Before 2007, OGG files were used to store various types of media, but since then the Xiph.Org Foundation recommends that OGG files store only audio data. Now, you will most likely encounter only OGG files that store audio data compressed with Vorbis compression.

Since the file is already compressed the reason for your stuttering is that the player is trying to uncompress while playing and appears not to be powerful enough to do it smoothly.  I think what you should be doing is uncompressing the file into its full uncompressed file size, then the video player doesn't have to do the work any more. The actual uncompress work would be done by ffmpeg which will probably take a long time. Changing the scale might help, but trying to reconvert it to another format is just going to make it bigger every time and probably still stutter.

Since I've never tried to uncompress a video file, I don't know what the settings would be.  You have to do some googling to find that  ffmpeg uncompress video

Okay.... these are the questions I will have concerning converting my flv to ogg while scaling the resolution.
Is it as simple as stating:
ffmpeg <in file>.flv -vf scale=-1:720 <out file>.ogg
?
