Unplug add-on in Firefox to grab the flv video address,
VLC media player to play the FLV video.


I installed Unplug.

I downloaded and Installed VLC, but it wouldn't run as it said shell32.dll
was missing, even though I found the file in Windows/System. Checking online
I found other people who had had same problem. One person said he
uninstalled the more recent version of VLC, which is like 1.01 or 1.03, and
went back to version .086i and that worked. So I tried that, but while
installing, it tell me something is wrong, and stopped installation, and
with no message telling me what to do.

If it's a .flv file, I found this
http://www.sothinkmedia.com/flv-player

and it works on a very old Win98, just had to install an Adobe flash
player [not the latest, but one of them] and I got full screen
viewing.

I'm not familiar with flv extensions. I'm mainly interested in playing
youtubes and similar videos. Unless they are the same?

I found this:

http://www.sothinkmedia.com/flv-player/

FLV (Flash Video) is a proprietary file format used to deliver video over
the Internet using Adobe Flash Player (formerly known as Macromedia Flash
Player) version 6, 7, 8, or 9. FLV content may also be embedded within SWF
files. Notable users of the FLV format include YouTube, Google Video,
Reuters.com, Yahoo! Video and MySpace.

So that's all good. But the bad news is it does not seem to work with W98:

Support Windows 2000/NT/XP/2003/Vista.

But the good news is, someone at that page writes:

Works for me
This is the only FLV player I've found that works on my Win98 system. It
played my FLV videos smoothly, was fast to download and didn't require .NET
Framework - highly recommended

However, another thing, though I'm not sure. It seems that FLV player is
only for downloading video files and playing them on your computer, not for
playing video files online. Is that right?

Flash is up to version 10 now, last time I checked.
(Whether Flash Player 10 will install and work on Win98SE I haven't checked
out).
