Why Convert SWF to FLV?

"I doing a 90 second piece of animation with music, and lip-sync in CS4 on iMac. When I test it as a swf file, it's perfect. In order to create a FLV file, I have to export it as a QT movie, then convert it. The QT movie is crap. It drops scenes and leaves residue images between scenes and some of the backgrounds are semi transparent or not there. I've tried it with different compressions, and some are better than others, but generally they suck. Is there a good converter that will take a SWF file and convert it to a FLV file? Why you can't export a FLV file in Flash CS4 is beyond me. Any info or ideas on a converter would be appreciated. Thanks in advance."

The above is a question raised by users on the internet, which is one of the situations when we need to convert SWF to FLV. Although SWF and FLV are similar, they still have differences. SWF is essentially a container which packs several kinds of animation multimedia files. On the other hand, FLV (Flash Video) merely stands for the video file, which can be one part of the SWF file. Therefore, when we convert SWF to FLV, we actually extract FLV from SWF.
