FLV Player is a standalone application to play Flash FLV files with. If you want a bit more control over your viewing, this open-source freeware program will do the trick. FLV Player’s exceedingly simple controls allow you to navigate backward and forward through videos and play them in a loop.

This utility can come in handy when viewing many FLV files, as it doesn’t require the Flash IDE. The installer comes with optional FLV association, so double clicking an FLV file opens and plays the file in the player. The installer includes optional downloads for FLV recording and conversion software by Applian.
