Rep Power: 0 | Of course it works 8) 1.) Install the flv splitter from: http://inmatrix.osnn.net/osflvsplitter.1.0.0.1_nt.exe 2.) Get ffdshow's official beta 1 from: http://ffdshow.info * You might want to uninstall any other codec packs beforehand, ffdshow already incorporates almost any video and audio codec and in a much more simpler way than those monstrous codec packs.  Now flv's should play for you in WMP - and any other player infact.  Last edited by AShu; February 5th, 2007 at 08:38 AM. |

Car: 1995 Nissan 240SX Rep Power: 36 | You can convert it to a format that WMP can play, but you'll lose quality in the process. WMP blows, use VLC like everyone else has suggested. |
