[PW] YouTube and .flv players

[Ted Nesbitt]

As a follow-up to Sue's message about .flv formats, here is a list of three that have been recommended by other people who use them for You Tube, My Space, or any other site that has flash videos.

KEEP VID
http://KeepVid.com

[NOTE: This one is very easy to use.  Just have your You Tube link read and paste it in.  I have created a folder on my computer for You Tube videos ONLY.  That makes them very easy to find.  This site is for "capturing" the videos, but you must have a FLV player installed, in order to view them.] 

FLV PLAYERS --

FLV PLAYER S
http://sweb.cityu.edu.hk/50689882/flv.html

[Note:  This player has been recommended by a few people as the VERY best.  I have yet to try it.]

FLV PLAYER 1.3.2
http://www.soft82.com/downloads/Windows/FLV_Player

[Note:  There is a newer version, but the reviews indicate that it has too many bugs.  This is the player I use most frequently.  It is easy to use and maximizing to full screen is a cinch -- even for me.]

RIVA FLV PLAYER 1
http://www.download.com/Riva-FLV-Player/3000-2194-10435953.html

[Note:  I also use this one, but I cannot find a way to enlarge the video to full screen.]

Good luck!

Ted
