Best practice video conversion from download

I am looking for best practice for video conversions.

I am downloading adobe recordings via this method:

http://server.adobeconnect.com/xyz/output/filename.zip?download=zip

From here, I have been converting the FLVs using either freemake video converter or FLV converter. I have tried converting into AVI (XVID), MOV, WMV, etc. (I need the file to be under 600 MB for an hour of recording, therefore it is going to need some type of compression).

My goal is to import the video into Sony Vegas Pro 10 for further editting. I have found that whatever method I use, the video and audio does not sync properly about 50% of the time. The video time is longer than the audio time usually. Or that there are other various errors, such as the video just freezing halfway through the video.

I have been using connect for a few years now, but with each update I find (connect 8, 9, etc), that the problems are getting worse. At this point I am just wasting time trying to convert into various formats using various codecs just trying to luck upon one where the video is at least without error.

What methods are others using to convert the FLV to a workable editable format?

If you are looking to make a version of your recording for use outside of Connect, the most common, sucessfull, practice I see is to capture the recording with Camtasia and then use that recording to edit and modify as needed. This does require that you capture the recording in real time, but will probably yield the best results, and Camtasia can out put in AVI and WMV (I believe).

Yes, I use this as a last resort, as the quality of capture this was is signifcatnly lower. As well as it is a much more time consuming process. I sometimes have over 50 parts of 1 hour video. To use camtasia, you need first to record it, then it must be saved in a camtasia format, and then lastly rendered into avi or wmv. Therefore, it is does take awhile.

Really, I feel there shouldnt be so many errors in the conversion process, but I am finding the FLV recordings themselves have problems. This last file I am looking at, even the recording playback on adobe connect, has serious issues with audio and video sync. A problem that is all too common

Can't the FLV files be changed into many different formats through Apple's

Compressor or Adobe Media Encoder? These formats can then be opened in

standard video editing software for editing.
