FLV File Extension

You may be more familiar with file extensions than you realize. While you may not immediately recognize the .flv extension, stop and think. Have you ever downloaded or watched a YouTube video? If so, you have used an .flv file. An .flv file is a flash video file and is commonly used on YouTube, Google Video, Yahoo Video and Reuters, among others. YouTube is the top video provider online with statistics of over 5 billion videos viewed monthly, as of July 2008.(Wikipedia)

Originally developed by Macromedia and first known as Macromedia Flash, .flv flash video files are now supported by Adobe Flash Player, as Adobe bought out Macromedia in 2005. The .flv file extension stands for Flash Live Video and is proprietary to Adobe, but has become very common and is used by thousands of websites. The .flv format is used for videos, movies, animations and online presentations. Due to their small size, .flv files can be viewed by either broadband or dial-up users. Although .flv files are highly compressed to achieve a small size, they provide excellent video quality. (Tech Faq)

A flash player , either Adobe or others such as MPlayer , Riva FLV Player or MediaPlayer Classic will play .flv files on a Windows PC, while Adobe Flash Player or Adobe MediaPlayer, Eltima Software SWF and FLV Player will work on Mac computers. (File Info)In addition to their small size, another benefit of .flv files is that they are a type of “streaming” video files, meaning they can begin playing without waiting for the entire file to download. (Tech Faq) Depending upon your software, in some cases, you can choose where to start the video.

If you don’t want to pay a lot for software, there are a number of free .flv players available, including the Moyea FLV Player, Sothink FLV Player and simply FLV Player. Cnet’s Downlaods list dozens of free video players and converters. (Cnet) The most common difficulty people experience with .flv files is not having the correct software to play them, so be prepared before you attempt to view or download .flv files and you should have no problems.
