FLV Player - Free your FLV

FLV Player - Free your FLV
Platform: Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000
License: Free Download

Most people don’t need anything more than a Web browser and a Macromedia plug-in to watch Flash videos. However, if you want a hair’s breadth more control over your viewing, this open-source freeware program will do the trick.

FLV Player’s exceedingly simple controls allow you to navigate backward and forward through videos and play them in a loop. You can also adjust the volume, mute it, and adjust the size of the player. The Settings menu provides some basic control over program behavior, such as opening a new player window when double-clicking on an FLV file and remembering previous settings. And that’s about it.

Our only major complaint is that the display window doesn’t automatically resize to the size of your movie frame. We hope this problem will be remedied in future versions. FLV Player isn’t a must-have by any stretch, but it’s a decent tool for penny-pinching Flash developers.

User’s review

“It works as expected.”

by MPJindustries on May 9, 2009

Pros: Simple to use

Cons: Locks up when (accidentally) handed a non-Flash video. At least, it should announce an incompatible file, just from the suffix; otherwise hand it over to Win Media Player or the specified default for that kind of file (.wmv, mpg, etc)

Summary: It does what it’s supposed to do.

“Its just perfect”

by jbenam on May 9, 2009

Pros: Excelent software. It makes possible for me to enjoy the online media.

Cons: No comment.

Summary: I like it very much.

“A good little player, very easy to use.”

by RFilsaim on April 29, 2009

Pros: Needed it for my old Windows 98 OS to play videos files with .flv extension.

Cons: Take time to find files in subdirectories.

Summary: Just another good video player that I downloaded to play unplayable files in my old Windows 98 OS
