"FLV files in Windows Media Player

The latest versions of Windows Media Player should play Flash FLV files
without any problem, but you may need to install a media decoder first. If
your version of WMP doesn't work with FLV files, try installing ffdshow
(link supplied: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout/).

When you open an FLV file the player may give you a warning message saying
that it doesn't recognize the file extension - click OK and play the file
anyway."

If you correct the URL that Carey posted, yes, it works.

Yep, I saw the bad slash, but interestingly enough I only clicked on it and
it worked regardless. IIRC, there is or was a setting someplace that
automatically corrects these in IE.

I wouldn't know as I rarely use IE, especially in Ubuntu where I use
Opera and IE, fortunately, is not available ;-)

I too am happy with the FLV player, Richie, I'm glad I managed to locate it
via a Google search.
