Play FLV in Windows Media Player

Posted in Multimedia Tools


playflv logoHow to play FLV in Windows Media Player?

When you download a video from a video sharing site like YouTube or Metacafe using a simple video downloader, unless you use an online downloader that provides online conversion, normally you will get the FLV version. This FLV video can be played instantly using third-party video players like VLC Media Player, GOM Player, or a specific FLV player. But what if you want to play FLV in Windows Media Player?

Windows Media Player cannot play FLV flash video by default since it doesn’t support this video format. After searching for a while, I found a plugin that enables you to watch FLV in Windows Media Player easily. There is no complex installation and configuration. After installing, double-click any flv file to play it in your Windows Media Player.
