Default What's the best 'full screen' flv viewer to use with Win98?

I've found when it comes to W98 and playing FLVs there is very little
support ... but there is a COMBINATION of software which works wonders!
To give all the details would take an hour of pounding on the KB (time
which I don't have), so here it is in brief.

This combination of software allows the playing of ANY FLV (thus far)
whether windowed or full screen. BTW, it's been a L-O-N-G time since
setting this up so will do my best with recall ! Obtain and set-up the
following softwa

1. FLV Splitter (sourceforge.net), use v1.005, Gabest altered version
(2007); be sure to REGISTER the .ax on your PC; e.g. START | RUN |
regsvr32 flvsplitter.ax
2. FFDshow (I use version rev 1324 2007-07-01), video decoder must be
specifically setup up to play FLVs
3. WinAMP (I use v5.31); the Nullsoft DirectShow decoder (v1.0,
included?) must be setup to play FLVs

Last not; I HIGHLY recommend a backup of your registry (as a minimum).
FFDshow will REALLY change some AV related entries!!

Thank you for your reply.

After the frustrating experience with VLC Player, I stumbled across
Sothink FLV Player for WinXP, Win2000, etc

BUT!!! it works on Win98, but need to install one of the Adobe Flash
Player somethings and it works incredibly well

I get FULL SCREEN video with NO margins

and only 3+MB, not very big.
