Flash Video .FLV

Flash Video .FLV is the most popular format in the Internet. Flash videos can be played by the most popular web-browsers including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari. Flash .FLV videos are used by most video sharing web-sites including Youtube.

The purpose of this resource is to help you figure out why your FLV files aren't working. This page was written up from the searching, reading, trial and error I've gone through, at a time when I was frustrated with bad FLV files and needed an immediate solution.

The most common problems and glitches when playing downloaded/recorded/captured flash videos are the following:

• Flash .FLV video is not seekable (fast forwarding and rewinding is not available)
• Video and audio are out of sync when playing FLV files
• FLV video plays too fast (especially after recording live streams and live webcams)
• Video stuttering when playing FLV files (video runs choppy)
• Audio glitches when playing FLV files
• Flash .FLV video doesn't play in Windows Media Player or some other player
• FLV video stops too early
• FLV video doesn't start at all
