G'day mates, I recently received a .FLV file from a mate, but I don't seem to have anything installed to open it. I gather it's a Macromedia Flash Video format file <http://filext.com/detaillist.php?extdetail=FLV> Just wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a decent (and cheap!) FLV player, please? Cheers, Phred. -- ppnerkDELETE@THISyahoo.com.INVALID

I too am a fan of VLC player... especially for FLV and MOV files where I can't install quicktime players on the work PC. VLC does it all.

VLC won't play my FLV (it plays everything else) files, it skips through the file but won't show anything. Maybe my install is corrupt, I thought FLV wasn't supported!

It shows it in the plugin and says its supported but all my VLC does is play audio, if it does anything at all. No, it's not your install, I have reinstalled it twice. I've since gotten the above mentioned flv player and now it's not an issue. > > > -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com
