SCOTT'S PROGRAMS

Some program(s) I think come in useful when visiting the web sites. Warning: I did not create these programs, they are simply programs I have success using as third party software. There may be something about your particular PC or set up that can cause issues. In other words, use at your own risk! (Not to scare you.....I use all the programs below).

Independent Flash Player Video Program. Version 2 Player. Can be used to view the "Flash" Videos on this site. If you don't already have a program that works for you.

Got the program from CNET.com. Here is info and a review.

From Martihn de Visser:

FLV Player is a free standalone application to play Flash FLV files with. This utility can come in handy when viewing many FLV files, as it doesn't require the Flash IDE. The installer comes with optional FLV association, so double clicking an FLV file opens and plays the file in the player.

Version 2.0.23 adds 'loop' button and improves support for RTMP streams.

Editor's review of FLV Player

Most people don't need anything more than a Web browser and a Macromedia plug-in to watch Flash videos. However, if you want a bit more control over your viewing, this open-source freeware program will do the trick. FLV Player's exceedingly simple controls allow you to navigate backward and forward through videos and play them in a loop. And that's about it.

Our only major complaint is that the display window doesn't automatically resize to the size of your movie frame. We hope this problem will be remedied in future versions. FLV Player isn't a must-have by any stretch, but it's a decent tool for penny-pinching Flash developers.
