Is there a good FLV player?

[Humus]

I've tried a bunch, and they all suck in one way or another. Like can't skip, or can't resize, or can't upscale without pixilating, or poor quality etc.

Have you tried any codec packages to enable Media Player Classic / Home Cinema to play it?

EDIT: Seems like MPC Home Cinema edition has FLV playback builtin or atleast has a FLVSplitter built in.

I use this one

wether it qualifies as being good, I dont know but it does have an option for cpu scaling

Zoomplayer with an FLV splitter (I think there's one at www.rarewares.org) and ffdshow for decoding.

i use k-lite mega codec pack, plus qtlite (because the monopolising apple b'stards won't allow it to be incorporated) and latest wmp codecs (extracted from wmp installs) in order to play everything in the supplied copy of media player classic; once you've ticked and tweaked a few options to let it take complete control of all supported formats

i just tested a poor quality flv for you and, via the ffdshow options that show in the taskbar when it is being used, i was able to smooth it out a bit by ticking the "post-processing" option. however, there are also more options where you choose what method mpc uses to render its output. the result was ok though, considering it was a low-res file downloaded off a french video site

k-lite did the trick for me. Thanks guys!

Another VLC user here. Best thing is that it plays alot of video containers/codecs without having to install codecs. I haven't used a codec package in years.

VLC works good!

mpc and ffdshow.

VLC works fine for everything else but FLV. You can't skip in FLV files with VLC, which makes it useless for that format.

Edit: Nevermind, I just tried downloading the latest version and it's fixed now.
