[Update 15th July 2008] I have discovered that I simply can't get AnyFLV Player to work on some computers despite installing extra codecs in the form of ffdshow. It worked beautifully on my computer when I installed it but I have recently formatted and started afresh with XP and I cannot get AnyFLVplayer to work. There is virtually no documention help and the forum is a joke.

My best advice now is to install the Windows Essential Codec pack I found at snapfiles. Included is Media Player Classic which has never failed me yet.

[Update 2nd April 2009] Ok, so now MediaPlayer Classic is failing me too :(. If it fails for you try my latest find Applian FLV Player.

This little gem opens and plays .flv files which are those video clips you find at places like YouTube, GoogleVideo and MySpace etc. Very simple and easy to use although not automatically associated with .flv files. To make it the default player to play .flv files you simply go to the Tools menu and chose Associate .FLV file. It has the basic controls of stop, pause and play and you can customize the looks and the way it plays a video through the "Publish" menu.

As well as play flv files, Any FLV Player gives you the ability to publish flv files to the web and provides you with the html code needed to get it up. I haven't tried this yet.

Any FLV Player is a great download to go with Bennesoft YouTubeDownloader which downloads the video clips from the net to your computer for you.
