Have you installed Lame and Ubuntu restricted extras? Both are in Ubuntu Software Center. Not sure this will fix your problem. I think there is a bug with SoundConverter with FLV files.

This is the bug, but will not affect you.

I don't think I have installed Lame and Ubuntu restricted extras. How do I do that? I'm using Lubuntu 13.04.

I installed Lame and Ubuntu restricted extras like you said and it worked for me. Thanks for your help.

Converting from one lossy format to another will lose quality. I suggest you rerip using OGG and they will sound better.
