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.

An older version (v.0.8.6) of VLC Player works with Win98:
Scroll down to the Windows 95/98/Me section hehttp://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html

It can be toggled to full screen.
