Convert meeting recording to mp4

Would like recommendations on best and cleanest way to convert an adobe 7.5.1 connect meeting recording to an MP4 file. The “offline” feature in 7.5.1 of recordings are not acceptable for offline viewing (very pixilated) plus the recorded timeline bar is very confusing for end-users. I am able to download the .flv files from the output folder from the server and see the audio.flv and content.flv. is there away to combine these to files (sync'd) into one file and output to mp4 or some other format.  is there an adobe or 3rd party application that can be used?

I have not been able to find an application that can edit adobe flv files (audio or movie).

i am trying to find a simple and clean way to convert, would be nice to be able to batch convert.

any ideas are greatly appreicated.

thank you in advance.

I had similar issue and I tried several programs to convert flv to mp4. For free downloads "Handbrake" from download.cnet.com seems to work fine though the video quality degrades a little.

There are probably better paid programs available that do a much better conversion job without any distortions.

There is an absolutely wonderful set of tools that I use all the time:

I use the Video Converter Ultimate 6 to convert the Adobe Connect recording that is downloaded as one single FLV file.  I convert that to M-PEG 4 Audio file.  You can batch convert files.  I then can play just the audio in iTunes. These can then be sent to any iPod/iPhone/iPad for playback.

I'll post another message with Adobe's Creative Suite tool that can do the same thing. I just don't have it installed on this particular Mac at the time. I use that tool frequently as well.

The only other way that we have been able to accomplish this was using Techsmith’s Camtaisa to screenscrap the playback (basically what Connect's offline does but better, just have to loop the audio) but this is very time consuming for a 2+ hr recording times 20.
