FLV Codec/Player??

[Fun Guy]

Is there a codec that I can install to the WMP in Win7 to play .flv files?

not to thread jack, but you could use VLC and not worry about d/ling codecs...in most cases.

I solved the problem by converting the FLV file to WMV. Works perfectly.

I've never had to do any conversions it just works. Downloaded a Youtube video just now (FLV format) to test and plays perfectly in Media Player Classic. The same codecs from Windows 7 Codec Pack should work exactly the same way in WMP as far as I know. Why bother converting stuff?
