If you use Firefox as a browser, you can use the add-in called "DownloadHelper" which will allow you to download in the FLV format. This can be converted to other formats (wmv, mpg) but the size grows enormously. There are quite a few FLV players around or you can use the free Irfanview. For this you need to also download the plug-ins file which contains players for most formats.

For offline players, I prefer GOMPlayer - available from GOMplayer.com - it plays FLVs as well as all your normal media files (AVI, MPG, VOB, MP3, WMF, MP4 etc) and is completely free. I use it in preference to M$'s Media Player that is built in.

Is this really OT (off topic) or OT (on topic)

It's OT (off topic) and therefore it's OT (on topic) for this thread?
OK i'm confusing myself...

To answer that question, you need to analyze about 10% of the first 50% of the posts in thread.

I do not advise such a thing; mainly for one's sanity.

Maybe 5% of the whole; I was trying to give an rough guide to where these relevant posts were; certianly out of nearly 1,500 posts 5% give one 75% or so to filter from the other 1400+.
