CS3 FLV Encode - Metadata "undefined"

Question

Hey all -
I've recently picked up flash again after a few years, and
I'm trying to work with FLVs. I've been using the "import video"
command in CS3 to encode the FLV files; it's been working great up
until now when my video payer swfs have been hard-wired. However,
now I would like to get into the nitty gritty and create a more
dynamic player.
My problem seems to be that CS3 is not encoding metadata into
the files. I started trying to get videoheight/videowidth, but when
i trace the whole metadata it's undefined,undefined,undefined et
al. I've seen tools on the internet to view/insert metadata, but
they're all PC programs and I'm stuck on a mac here.
Is this something about the new flv implementation? Has
anyone else had this problem?
Thanks so much!
