How to Play Flash Movies in Window Media Player?

kevi · 10-28-2009, 09:36 PM

I got some flash movies, they play well in flash player, but don't work in my window media player. What should I do?

hello,kel, window media player supports avi video format, if you want to play flash movies or animations in it, the easy way is convert flash file to avi file. I know iwisoft swf to avi converter, my friend used before, is good for that, maybe you can google it and have a try.

Is there a reason you have to do this with Media player?

A better solution that plays pretty much every video format out there that's lightweight and free/open source is the VLC player. You can grab it here:

VLC media player - Open Source Multimedia Framework and Player

I second the motion for VLC.

if you do want to use Window media player, you need to change flash to avi. swf2avi <<

I agree that this is probably the best player plus is multi platform.

If you add the free Audcaity and some other open source product you have a virtual suite for Internet Marketing

If you want to stream the files via the internet then convert to MP4 as FLV is dead in the water now. Otherwise download a free product called 'Super' which will convert FLV to AVI for you.
