This is related to this issue.

However, EffectMatrix Total Video Player plays them back pretty well. And - believe it or not - the files actually play even better once transcoded to another format like xvid.

The best transcoder for the files produced by GetFLV is Format Factory. You just need to be careful to set the framerate to that of the original flv file.

So, my suggestion is to try EffectMatrix Total Video Player to play the file, or try to transcode it to xvid with Format Factory.

If none of these work, provide the link/title to program you're having trouble with.
I tried both free programs. Now, the files play correctly. Thank you. I am sure your advice will help all of our members. Thanks.
