How to create FLV file in Flash MX 2004

Hello,
I would like to stream video on several of my web sites. I use Flash MX 2004. I have not upgraded to Flash 8 yet and would like to defer that cost if possible. It sounds like I must convert my video to FLV format in order to do streaming. I downloaded Macromedia's "Flash Video Exporter" but it appears that this only works with video editors which create Quicktime files. I use Pinnacle Studio for video editing. I believe this does not output Quicktime files. Macromedia's documentation also speaks of a "Macromedia Video Kit with Sorenson Squeeze", but when I follow their links, it always leads me to a page to purchase Flash 8. Is there a less expensive option to stream video? Thanks for the help.

Yes. Thank you! Thank you. The first link offers a very cheap solution. I imported the wmv file into Flash MX 2004. In the library, right click on the wmv file, select properties, select export, name the file & you get an flv file. I wonder why I could not find this on the Adobe site? Someday maybe I will upgrade to an expensive video editor with Quicktime output on which the Flash Video Exporter operates. Anyway, thank you very much for the answer
