FLV Browser

If you’re looking for an application that was especially designed to open FLV files and nothing more, you may want to have a look at FLV Browser.
Especially designed with this goal in mind, the program provides no other fancy features and relies on a very simple interface with a multi-panel layout.
This way, FLV Browser lets you not only to open the FLV files stored on your computer, but also browse local disks with just a few clicks.
Besides the obvious FLV playback feature, FLV Browser also lets you add some of the files to favorites and thus play them at a later time with minimum effort. What’s more, it integrates a screenshot utility to automatically take a snapshot of the playing video.
FLV Browser is just a basic software solution, so there are no other configuration options, while the available features come down to the playback utility we were talking about. No video controls and skin support are available.
The good thing is that FLV Browser remains friendly with hardware resources most of the time and doesn’t affect system performance. While it runs just fine on Windows XP, it sometimes crashes on Windows 7 and runs terribly slow when trying to play a large video file.
Overall, FLV Browser is just a FLV player addressed to older workstations. It’s far from the top product users may expect, but it can be safely installed by beginners who want nothing more than basic tools to open FLV files.
