Hi, I need to convert a wmv to flv.  
I have heard that if you just use Flash import video it will cause the filesize to increase. What is the best way to convert?  
I have looked at lots of software both pc and mac (i prefer mac) but they all seem to be costly. Are there any free solutions?

Please help ASAP.  
Thanks!
