surely it aint that difficult

you should be able to open flv into quicktime native, if so then just use compressor to change file formats to uncompressed .mov

the other way is get the person making the flv to export to a quicktime format to begin with e.g. blackmagic codec may be needed if they are pc and it is free from their website, on an apple with final cut pro it should definitely be done at that stage

if using flash for video graphics go for the correct colours (not too white or saturated) and line widths of more than 2 px. also make sure your frame rates match and you are working with a square pixel sized project e.g. SD PAL is 768 by 576 when in sq pixels
