flv is flash video, which is the format used by google and youtube. The player posted above is the only one I've seen that will play them like normal video files.

MediaPlayer Classic, not WMP (when installed as part of the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack).

 

I know this works, as I use it to play FLV files on thiese PCs:thumbsup:.

really? i use both those but only ever get sound

 

personally i use vlc for .flv files

i download .flv files off google video and youtube

 

i use firefox with the very handy video downloader extension which gives you an icon in the bottom right corner just above the clock, i click that when on the video page i want to download and a screen pops up with a download link

although a very few videos do come up for download as avi or mpgs most are .flvs
