Trimming FLV without touching the quality
Flippy trims FLV with stream copy: it slices at the nearest safe boundary and copies the data straight across: no re-encoding, no quality loss, and it's near-instant even on big files. Everything travelling inside the FLV container makes the cut with it, soundtrack included.

Will I lose quality working with FLV here?
None. Stream copy moves your FLV's data untouched; only the length changes.
