is there a .FLV codec for windows media player????

Turn your monitor upside down, or stand on your head... ;-)

I couldn't resist that.... sorry!

 

Hey guys the only codec pack that i have is CCC (Combined Community Codec) and i just right-click on .flv files and select 'Open With...', Windows Media Player and checked the 'Always Use Selected Program...' button and they work fine after telling WMP to ignore any error messages that popped up about it

CCC is the only codec i use because it doesn't work well with others and i can play everything that i come across so...

This is just so u have another way in case u don't like the ones already suggested

hey, i've been looking for something like this to convert flv. do you know is there anywhere it can be downloaded for free? and by that i mean not the unregistered trial version which requiries payment after the trial period. thanks.

 

Flv Extract will split the file into avi and mp3. Then combine/recode with Virtualdub.

 

ok my friend here the thing, i have tried looking flv codecs for win media player 10 and 11 but had no luck, so here the only option is to download a flv player from http://www.download.com/Free-FLV-Pl...532.html?part=dl-FreeFLVPl&subj=uo&tag=button

till the moment i think is the best player and does not make you pc slow, some players do as you might al ready know.

as for the program extuber from download.com does not work any more, I have tried to uset but no luck , the older versin of it does work but I lost it like 8 months ago and the new uhmm does not work.

if i find any codec and/or develope some for win media player 10 I will let u know asap.

Thx for this info. i already knew about k-lite codec pack (as it is THE best codec pack ever) and already had it installed, but WMP11 wouldnt let me play my .flv's. so i reinstallled K-lite Completely (full install) and now it works. WIERD lol

 

i want to thank you, too, ireland. i have wanted for a long time to play flv's on my wmp and finding this thread was the answer. you have added a small, but measurable, amount of happiness to this world.

 

Thanks! that worked perfectly

 

Hi! Playing the flv is not a problem. The issue that I have is that, before I had my windows media player playing flv files and showing their thumbnails in windows explorer. I had however to format my pc. I really can't remember what codec/plugin/software I had installed to do this trick. Do you guys knows any codec/plugin/software that shows the thumbnails too?

 

@ralphgmr

try klite codec pack full. do full install. you get thumbnails and support for watching. also supports all other video/audio too. or atleast i think all. hope this helps ya

 

I use Windows Media Player Classic or WMP 11. I found that the lastest beta version of ffdshow sorted the problem. I seem to rember that some of the earlier versions of it also did the trick

 

I love you guys! ...you solved my problems

 

I actually came accross a blog post on this subject a few months ago:

Playing FLV files in Windows Media Player

(Just for anyone else who is looking to find out how it's done).

Thanks

 

F*ck. Give the guy a break.
