Viewing FLV files offline

I am currently using Bridge CS3 to view all of my FLV files
on my Mac.
Is there a dedicated player, or a plugin for Quicktime that
will allow
me to view FLV files without having to open Bridge?
Thanks.

I would NOT recommend you waste your time downloading Adobe Media Player, there are already numerous complaints about this player. It appears to let you 'download' the videos. There is a download screen in which you can see the progress of files being downloaded for 'offline' viewing and the files are stored in your application cache folder. They then show up as 'downloaded' ready for offline viewing.
However, the player MYSTERIOUSLY deletes these files later at some magical time, an hour or two hours or six.... later for some STRANGE UNEXPLAINED reason. In addition, you will not know which ones will be deleted. I had 20 episodes in m Flex course already downloaded. Of these all but two were deleted.You can prevent this, by going in the cache and copying the folder and then opeing the flv files directly.  This begs the question, why delete the files in the first place.
Despite many complaints made to adobe about this 'bug', nothing has been said, no replies received from Adobe. As a newby to Adobe development I take this a sign of the indifference this company is to a straighforward problem. What a waste of bandwidth, download quota, server time. Just LET US DOWNLOAD ONCE.
If you like, you can try using the media player but to prevent having to redownload the files a few hours later you can try to just copy the respective folder and do the annoying thing of opeining up the files.
Thanks Adobe for ....

    the only way really to view .flv files on older Symbian 5th edition devices was thru baseline updates to the built-in video player (in many cases, RealPlayer). this was achieved only thru ensuring that you had the latest firmware installed on your device, via checking via Nokia Suite on your PC.

  • Viewing .FLV Files

    Hello Everyone,
    I have a few questions regarding the "YouTube" scenario:
    1. When a video file is uploaded to youtube, does the flv
    file created call the original video in? In other words, is the
    original video live on the server?
    2. My understanding of .FLV files is that they can only be
    viewed on a page via a .SWF file. True? Are there other ways to
    view a .FLV file on
    (embedded) a page?
    TIA,
    Greg

    Hi
    1...I'm not familiar with youtube's methods, but it would be
    logical to suppose that any file you upload to a 'public server'
    will be accessable by anyone, therefore each instance will be a
    live preview of the original. And if its not 'LIVE' on the server
    how would anyone know it exsisted?
    A swf alone cannot play .flv's even this needs a 'player',
    such as the very basic Video object in Flash to the fuller featured
    FLVPlayback component. .flv's can be viewed with 3rd party Desktop
    apps such as FlashStreamWorks player
    FLVPlayer
    Check out youtube info maybe they have .flv related
    documentation on how to use.
    Hope it helps

  • Trouble viewing .flv files in cs3

    Hi everyone,
    I am just starting out using dreamweaver. I am trying to follow a tutorial on how to use it and am running a problem displaying .flv files. When I click on the file directly in the files panel i get an error that states "cant find a valid editor for this file extension". Does any one know how to correct this issue. I am using dreamweaver cs3 on  mac os x.

    CR2 files are raw Canon files. If you can open them, it means your OK as far as the installation of the proper version of the ACR Plugin.
    If you can't see the thumbnails of the TIFFs but you can open the files themselves in Photoshop by double-clicking on them, then all you may have to do is Purge the Cache for the offending folder(s) through the Tools menu of Bridge Tools > Cache > Purge cache for folder "name_of_folder".
    Note that I am flying blind here as you haven't provided any sensible, meaningful and detailed information about your setup.
    If you gave some sensible, complete and detailed information, someone may be able to help you, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, etc.
    There are no clairvoyants or mind readers here.

  • Possible Windows Media Center Conflict When Viewing .FLV FIles

    I am running IE10 on Win7 and just downloaded Flashplayer 11.8.800
    I verified the download via the Manage Add-ons list in IE10 and saw that Shockwave Flash Object is available.
    I also verified that FP ActiveX - with the correct install date - is among the populated programs in my Uninstall list of the Control Panel.
    However, in my WIN7 Default Programs details all .flv files are associated with Windows Media Center and when I try to change that association there does not appear to be a way to link the .flv files to the Flash Player
    or a way to disassocaite the .flv files from Windows Media Center.
    With the setup the way it is now, when I download a .flv file and try to run it,
    Windows Media Center tries to run it and gives me an error that the file type or the codex that created compression may not be supported.
    How do I get the .flv files to run?

    I use VLC media player for downloaded FLVs  http://www.videolan.org/index.html

  • Viewing RH7 files offline

    Ok, let's say I've just created a small project in RH7. Could
    someone let me know in simple everyday English, what steps a user
    would go thru to retrieve these files if they do not have RH
    installed on their computer and wanted to view these files without
    internet access.
    I've received a lot of help ful info on this subject already,
    but, alas, I'm new to this and need things spelled out a bit more.
    sigh...

    Can we keep this all in one thread/
    I have already answered this particular question.
    The output options are printed or online.
    Printed I explained would be a Word document that is made
    available on their network. Earlier you said no internet and no
    intranet. Now you say just no internet. If there is an intranet,
    they could access it that way. If this output option is still
    giving you concern, explain what you see as the difficulty in them
    opening a Word document, or a PDF.
    Online. I have explained that a CHM file would be on their
    computer. They could double click it and it will open. They don't
    need RH. More likely your developers will create links to it but
    that's another issue.
    WebHelp could be on a server but you have to find out from
    the developers where the help will be installed, then we can tell
    you which is the correct form.
    Talk to your developers about the help. They will have some
    knowledge of it.
    There is basic information in the online help for RH but it
    sounds like you really ought to be considering a training course.
    Will your company fund that?

  • What is the best way to view FLV files?

    I remember installing a plug-in for QuickTime that would allow FLV movies to be viewed. (How do you know what plug-ins you have anyway?)
    With QuickTime, the longer the FLV movie is, the more the audio and video go out of sync.
    Any opinions on standalone FLV players that are not QuickTime-based?

    You need Perian from http://perian.org/
    You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs. In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/

  • Viewing swf file offline.  Also viewing fullscreen?

    Hi everyone,
    I am doing a presentation for school and I was thinking that
    it would be a lot better to put it together in Flash rather than
    PowerPoint.
    However, I'm not sure how I should present it. I will be
    using a school laptop connected to a projector. It would be easy
    just to save the swf to the internet and play it in Internet
    Explorer, but I can't assume that I would be able to get internet
    access (although I probably will). I would like some alternative
    just in case.
    I know that I could save it to a CD or something and open it
    in Internet Explorer, but the only problem with that is that
    sometimes IE blocks files playing from the hard drive. I've
    encountered that problem before.
    Is there some kind of Flash Player that isn't an internet
    plug-in that I could use?
    In addition, if I do end up playing it in IE, it would be
    kind of nice not to see the browser, to have the video play
    fullscreen? Is that possible at all?
    There seem to be so many problems. Should I just give up and
    use PowerPoint instead? What would you do?
    Thanks

    Hi FreddyU
    you can simply publish your flash presentation as an exe file
    by doing the following:
    1- creating your flash file
    2- from the file menu choose publish settings
    3- In the Formats tab select Windows Projector(.exe) check
    box and click publish button
    4- You will find an exe file created in the same place you
    saved the fla file in it and you can play it out of the IE of
    course.
    Hope it helps :)

  • How to view Google Drive offline files on iPad Air

    It there away to make movie file available to view offline on my iPad Air?

    The only way to view a file "offline" is to download it, regardless of the app or cloud system used. When you check a file as being available offline, that is what it does - downloads a copy for local use.
    In the Google drive app, tap on the icon to the right of the item., the turn Available Offline ON. (This will download a copy of off line use). You must be Online when you do this, obviuosly. If you are using another app to connect to Google, and the app support offline viewing, it should have a similar mechanism.

  • Opening a new browser window always puts a flv-file (0bytes of a youtube vid viewed earlier) on desktop. Firefox 18.02

    Opening a new browser window always puts a flv-file (0bytes of a youtube vid viewed earlier) on desktop. Firefox 18.02
    viewed the yuotube vid yesterday. deleted all the flv-files on the desktop.
    same thing today, a new window always puts the same empty file from yesterday.
    any suggestions?

    You can check the home page setting:
    *Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • Any ideas how I can view this flv file?

    I have CS3 Flash using Flash Player 9 and Actions Script 3.  I am publishing a progressve loading swf, which has an absolute path to an flv of http://www.haleygroup.com/work_images/basics.flv.  The swf file is located here http://www.haleygroup.com/work_images/basics.swf, along withn the html, flv, and skin.  When I click the button (configured by an XML file) on my web site to view the file, I get a flickering box.  Other flvs in the XML file are configured the same way and work fine.  See this flickering box at http://www.haleygroup.com/, enter site and go to "et al" page, then click "Basics".  Any ideas how I can view this flv file?  Many, many thanks.

    I just changed the path to a relative path of just "basics.flv" and still have the problem.  See swf at http://www.haleygroup.com/work_images/basics.swf.  Thanks.

  • Is There a Flash player to view .swf/.flv files?

    The Flash Player download at Macromedia is for viewing Flash
    in a web browser.
    I need to install an app on some co-workers machines so that
    they can view the .swf and associated .flv files that I make.
    Does Macromedia make such an app or should I download a
    third-party .flv player for them to use?
    Thanks

    With respect you're not quite right on that topic.
    Flash player is to view swf files on your computer where
    macromedia shockwave player is used to view websites with flash
    content. Try downloading flash player version 10 and restart your
    computer.
