Yes I know all about lossy vs not-lossy etc, etc. I have totally other
reasons to want to decode FLV8 than quality and filesize. For example,
what about generating thumbnails out of FLV8 or convert FLV8 to 3gp for
my mobile phone? I can do all these things with FLV7 but bot with FLV8.
So I need to decode FLV8 files, with VP6 codec. I can decode FLV7 with
Sorenson Spark really easy using FFmpeg or somilar opensource tools.
FLV8 is the trouble maker, no tool I have seen supports decoding this
format. Any help?
On2 has a 'VP6 decoder' (see http://www.on2.com/downloads/vp6-decoder/)
but I am unsure how to use it and if it will decode FLV8?

VP6 is a 'lossy' codec, which means it degrades the image quality of
the video. If you convert an FLV to an AVI, you will get a low quality
video with a high file size. Any compression you put on top will
further degrade the quality of the image.
With this caveat in mind, you can convert an FLV to an AVI. The only
way I know of is to import your FLV into the timeline of a new flash
movie (make sure to set the correct stage size and frame rate). You
can then export the flash movie to AVI format.
Hope that helps,
