Download VLC. It plays just about any video format you can think of.

How did you watch Chi's Sweet Home?? Weren't those .flv files? @_@ I had to download VLC player to watch those.

I wouldn't recommend using VLC media player for flv files because that player is not capable of fast forwarding to any point in the video you need to watch the video up to the point where you want it to. Basically you can't skip anything with the VLC player with FLV files. The VLC player is great for everything else but sucks for FLV files.

FLV media player as Lirange said is much more better suited for FLV files

FLV files will only work in Windows Media player if you have the right codec installed for it. You can download ffdshow and install that and in the codec settings make sure FLV1 is not set to disabled then load it up in windows media player.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow/

I would recommend downloading FLV media player as ffdshow is a little more complicated to setup but if you can setup the ffdshow codecs you can have flv files playing in windows media player.

I use Combined Community Codec Pack (CCCP).

hmm I wonder if that was before I had to format my computer...

Maybe I am missing some codec..

I'll try those that Andro suggested and see how I go..

Thanks!

I don't think that's true...

It is you can't fast forward or rewind you have to watch the whole thing from the beginning that's why I had to install the FLV player because it was such a pain watching FLV files on the VLC player.

Just tried it out with a downloaded FLV file (from YouTube) and VLC 1.0.0 allows you to seek to any point in the file.

Andromeda 09-29-2009 05:00 AM
Hmm that's why I'm using version 0.8.6.0

Well VLC is awesome but still has bugs to be sorted out Im glad that was fixed.

Yep. It certainly isn't an end-all-be-all player, but it is a nice, simple solution for people that don't want to futz with codecs. I like how it handles mkv files, too.

Hessah 09-29-2009 05:14 AM
is VLC the one that looks like a witch's cone?

Hraesvelg 09-29-2009 05:22 AM
