For whatever it is worth, I currently have no issues* with getflv and amazon instant.

I dedicate a separate (non-VM) OS installation just for getflv. This is because getflv has lots of junk code and does obnoxious stuff in the name of anti-crack prevention. I wouldn't run all that crap on my regular OS installation.

Anyway, the getflv version that is working is 9.1xx and the flash version is old too, like 10.2xx. This is on win7 & ie10. I'm guessing the newest versions of getflv & flash should work too.

That message from Amazon Instant about the flash version is sort of a lie. It means the player is having trouble installing Amazon's custom flash plugin. Sometimes this plugin is used to enable abobe's flash access (which you don't want) so Amazon can send encrypted files. But they seem to do this only sometimes.

*When I say "no issues", I'm discarding some occasional trouble getting a transfer to start, and some stalled transfers. These happen maybe 10% of the time.
