We’ve just been able to confirm this today (3/30/07). It seems like the 7.1.5 QT Mac update broke the connection to the FLV exporter plugin (/Library/QuickTime/FLV.component)
Here’s how this should work. Anyone who owns Flash 8 Professional gets the Flash Video Encoder. The installer for FVE installs the FLVExporter plugin into QuickTime. Then any video app that can create QuickTime should also be able to create FLV.
Anyway, after updating to QT7.1.5 that option goes away. I’m investigating and we should have more info early next week. I have this thread tagged with a reminder so I don’t forget it, and I’ll let you all know what happens..
