I know practically nothing about video. All I want to do is to convert my iMovie stuff.M4 V format, into an FLV format for upload to an online musical instruction site. I don't really even know if it's necessary. I'm not all that concerned about the video graininess etc., but I want the audio to stay high quality. Again, all I want to do is convert from Apple formats to FLV format.
