MP4 Player Editor's Review

Watch Flash Videos with Ease

Watching Flash videos can sometimes require complicated tools and procedures. Happily, FLV Player removes much of the necessity for complexity, allowing you to download and watch FLV files.

The program is quick to boot and install, meaning you can get started right away. The interface and menu are both quite simple, with a standard Windows program toolbar topping files portrayed by screenshot, and name, with the video length also indicated.

The program offers a few handy playback options such as full screen, 2x zoom and 0.5x zoom, as well as options to control volume and skip ahead in the video. You can create playlists and manage existing playlists quite simply. In addition, videos can be played easily by double clicking or dragging the file into the program.

Some users report blank screen hangs when files complete playing, but this is generally easily resolved.

Those who are used to watching videos for free on youTube and similar might balk at the $29.95 price tag, but if you want the option to watch favourite Flash videos without internet access then it may be a price you have to pay. A ten day free trial will likely give you enough time to decide.

Pro's: easy to use, simple yet functional interface, extra features.

Con's: Price, some bugs.

Conclusion: If you want to download and watch Flash videos then FLV player may be exactly what you're looking for.
