FLV File Player

The Flash Video format is quite popular nowadays, especially when it comes to distributing media content across the web. Many video hosting websites use this format, but FLV files are sometimes difficult to play without the right software.

FLV File Player is a simple, no-nonsense application that can help you play FLV clips in a quick and straightforward manner. It does not rely on any third-party software, but it does come with a limited feature set.

The application includes all the components that are necessary to play FLV files, so the installation procedure is as simple as can be. Both FLV and MP4 videos can be played right out of the box, as no additional codecs are required.

Naturally, this app may not be the best choice for users who like to have a few more features at their disposal, as the developers have tried to keep things as simple as possible.

Even though it can help you play FLV files with very little effort, FLV File Player lacks quite a few useful functions. Drag and drop is not supported, and it is also not possible to add multiple files to a playlist.

The available playback controls are pretty basic, but they should be sufficient for most users. Unfortunately, though, while you can control the audio volume, no visual indicator is displayed.

FLV File Player allows users to capture snapshots using a preset hotkey, but these can only be saved to the JPG format. Also, each file needs to be saved manually, so taking multiple snapshots in quick succession is not possible.

You can also load captions from separate files after loading the video. Unfortunately, though, you cannot customize the subtitle font, position or timing.

FLV File Player is a simple, easy-to-use program designed to help you play FLV files with no unnecessary fuss. It gets the job done, but it offers a very limited array of features.
