CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
For a piece of freeware in a category that's rife with scams and junk, Free FLV Player stands out as a solid, reasonable program that does what it says, offers a bunch of options in the deal, and does it all without annoying predatory advertising.
The program starts off with eight skins, most of which provide significantly different looks beyond just a new coat of paint. The options menu, which is only right-click accessible, provides hot-key and menu access to several useful choices. These include fixed resizing to double the original size or full-screen viewing, maintaining the aspect ration, smoothing, nearly 20 languages, and rollover hints. It also has a built-in screencapper.
The app is not without its flaws, though. When installing, users must opt out of downloading a video-format converter made by the same publisher, the URL downloader doesn't work with YouTube, and it will only play non-FLV formats like MP4s or ASFs if you're running Windows XP--Vista users only get FLV support. Still, the player is light on resources and generally performs as promised.

Version: Free FLV Player 2.5
Pros: I didn't complete the installation after reading the ULEA. It claims that it has third-party cookies that track your movements online and "report home." It's free with "strings attached."
Cons: See above. : (

Version: Free FLV Player 2.5
Pros: Skin selection is great (big deal). Features are potentially good, but...
Cons: ... it crashed Windows Explorer every time a multiple-files drag-n-drop was attempted, either into the main program or into the playlist editor. Pause function was buggy also. Granted, I use Windows 98SE; however, this software is rated to work with that.
