Frequently Asked Questions
- What are FLV files?FLV stands for Flash Video format. Besides the existing formats like mpg, avi, Quicktime en RealMedia, the Flash video format is becoming more and more popular. Online, the Flash Player can playback Flash videos. Offline, you need a program like PlayFLV to play Flash videos.
- Where can I get FLV files?Popular websites like Google Video and YouTube use Flash Video. If you have FireFox installed, you can use the DownloadHelper extension to download this videos.
- I get a message stating that the filetype is unknown. What’s this?FLV is not a native Windows Media Player format. Therefore, WMP shows a security warning when opening a FLV movie for the first time. Check the ‘don’t ask again’ checkbox and click yes to play the movie.
- I get a black screen while playing movies (‘missing codec’). What’s wrong?(Re-)install ffdshow. Make sure that ‘FLV1′ is checked in the configuration.
Alternatives
- An offline standalone FLV player is available here.
- This program only installs the FLV playback component for Windows Media Player. You can also install a codec pack like K-lite, which not only installs the FLV component but also dozens of other video playback components.

Generally I don’t learn post on blogs, but I wish to say that this write-up very forced me to try and do it! Your writing taste has been surprised me. Thanks, very great article.

This is not a plug-in for Media Player Classic ! This is VLC Player + a sponsor program inside !
And this is not a installation package, but a downloader for downloading VLC Player + a sponsor program !
