 Just arrived on this thread so haven't gone through all the messages but if
you are just looking to play FLV files
http://www.martijndevisser.com/blog/flv-player/ has a stand alone flv player

added with the video and it has several different output options on
publishing. I know the software is a screen recording software but you have
the option to import video files wmv, avi ,mpg.
