Free Standalone Flash Video (FLV) Players
These free standalone Flash video players allow you to play FLV or Flash video files or even streaming video directly, without having to use your browser. They are handy for viewing a saved video file on your computer. They are especially helpful when you are developing your own video (you don't need to write a web page just so you can load the video in a browser to test). Standalone desktop players are available for many operating systems, including Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
Note that some of the fully-featured video players listed on the Free Movie and Video Playing Software page also have built-in native support for playing FLV files.
