nFLVPlayer

As its title implies, nFLVPlayer is a tool that allows you to play video files with the FLV extension.

The interface of the application is simple and intuitive. You can open an FLV video by using the file browser only since the "drag and drop" method is not supported.

You can use basic media player tools such as pause and stop, navigate back and forth within the clip, as well as adjust the volume and switch to full-screen mode.

But you can also enable looping mode, view file information, change the video size and aspect ratio, open a remote URL (or just use the address bar to play an online FLV file), as well as create and manage a favorites list.

You can make adjustments to the image when it comes to brightness, contrast, hue, and saturation, as well as fast forward and fast backward the clip.

The video player takes up a low-to-moderate amount of system resources, supports several keyboard shortcuts and ran smoothly during our tests. We haven't encountered any problems since nFLVPlayer did not freeze, crash or display errors.

On the other hand, the tool is missing some key elements. For example, you cannot create a playlist, load subtitles or modify program settings (e.g. enable nFLVPlayer to minimize to system tray, to always start in full-screen mode or to automatically run at system startup).

NFLVPlayer is a pretty good application for FLV playback and we recommend it to all users who prefer a straightforward tool to a complicated, high-demanding one.
