FLV codec for Windows Mediaplayer

I want to be able to play FLV videos on Windows Mediaplayer 11. Where can I
download the codec and how do I install it so it functions with Windows
Mediaplayer 11?

Thanks for your suggestions.

FLV is a flash video file which will not play in media player.

Here is a link that might be of some use to you.

I don't know of any way to play it in Windows media player, but you might
want to look at GOM player. It is freeware and plays most media types
(including FLV). It uses internal codecs, so there is no need to download
individual codecs and have them mess with and corrupt your computer. GOm is
very small and uses a very small footprint (Unlike WMP). I use it as the
default media player for all my media (except mp3)

I second that...

Gomplayer is what media player should have been...

the best player I have ever found, and I have tried almost everything that
exists!

media player 11 is a total disgrace! It was developed for vista.. what do
you expect other than crap?

you can install this flv splitter that will enable media player to play flv
http://www.gomplayer.com/down/files/FLVSPLITTER.EXE


but I suggest you throw media player 11 in the trash and use
www.gomplayer.com as your default player..

Absolutely! I always recommend GOM Player. Also XnView and VLC Player.

It is comical that giant Microsoft can't find the "talent" somewhere
in it's 79,000 employees to write a decent media player while tiny
little companies give away much better players. In fact it is shameful
that Microsoft is outperformed in this area.

Hey, could you not link directly to an .exe ?
Didn't think people did that type of stuff.

OK, thank you for all the responses, I will use that GOM player. Thank you
very much.
