I've volunteered to edit a piece for a Burma non-profit organization. Because of the media blackout imposed by the Myanmar dictatorship, most of the footage is only available online as .flv (like YouTube).

I've tried SnapxPro, Zamzar and Tubesock (and others) with differing results, but when I get the clip into FCP4 as a .mov or DV(PAL), I lose the clip audio. It seems to be caused by the addition of my LiveType graphics, for reasons I do not comprehend.

The conversion, resizing and import/export of the clips seems very time consumptive as well. So, my question is... what am I doing wrong? What is the recommended process for ripping from the web (.flv) for FCP with LiveType graphics?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
