Color accuracy is a priority in this conversion. Color profiles (sRGB, Adobe RGB, etc.) are preserved when both formats support them. The output closely matches your original. File size after conversion depends on the content complexity and your quality settings. FLV Video's compression algorithm is highly efficient — expect output sizes 2-10x smaller than uncompressed data.
