How to play FLV files

Question

Hello,

Does anyone know how I can get to play a FLV file on common mediaplayers such as Windows Media Plyaer, Real Player, or Quicktime etc? Also which version of these common players would play the file?

I have Windows XP, SP2 Home Edition.

Thanks for your help,

Go to Google, put in SLV files and read what comes up. Ken

Are you sure you don't mean FLV files? SLV files are for the Silva Content Management System.

You probably want an FLV player. FLV files don't run with Windows Media Plyaer, Real Player, or Quicktime. Youtube and other sites commonly use the .flv format for their videos. Download an FLV player here:
