Publisher's description of FLV Player
From Martijn de Visser Software:FLV Player is a tool to play Flash FLV and H.264 (MPEG-4) videos with. This utility can come in handy when viewing many FLV and/or H.264 files. The installer comes with optional FLV file-association, so double clicking an FLV file opens and plays the file in FLV Player.
Version 2.0.25 adds 'video-only' mode (press [tab] to hide all FLV Player interface elements, note that you can still drag the video around), volume control with [arrow-up] and [arrow-down] keys, timer toggle (normal and milliseconds). Ability to skip forward with [arrow-right] key has been restored.

Editor's review of FLV Player

- "Free your FLV"
- Reviewed on: December 4, 2008
- Version reviewed: FLV Player 2.0.25
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.

Version: FLV Player 2.0.25
Pros: Runs FLV files seemlessly when dragged from a folder.
Cons: Using the standard "File/Open" doesn't work if there are spaces in the file path.

Version: FLV Player 2.0.25
"It's just ok. There are bugs though"
Pros: I like the user interface. I like how you can double click on a video and it goes full-screen.
Cons: there is a major bug if you go full-screen and are clicking through the playhead. Often this will jump the playhead to the very end and the video will start from scratch. This bug needs to be fixed!
Summary: It plays your basic FLV files and is better than nothing.

"Simple to use; quality playback."

Summary: I really have no complaints. Sure, its a basic player, but that makes it so much faster and simpler to use than other players.
