Written by Flash Video (FLV) is the name of a file format used to deliver video over the Internet using Adobe Flash Player. The most recent public release of Flash Player supports H.264 video and HE-AAC audio. Flash Video content may also be embedded within SWF files. Notable websites of the Flash Video format include YouTube, Google Video, Yahoo! Video, Reuters.com, Hulu.com, etc.
If you find some wonderful FLV videos from YouTube or other video-sharing sites, you may want to download YouTube videos and save them on your Mac for playing anytime you like or editing them to create your movie masterpiece. But if you want to play FLV on QickTime on Mac, you may find that these FLV videos are not supported by QuickTime Player.
“Why after years of doing so, are FLV files not playable via QuickTime, and suddenly become a ‘format QuickTime Player no longer understands’? What happened? Why? This is ridiculous.”
As the default media player on Mac, QuickTime must be the first choice. Since FLV can’t be recognized by QuickTime, you have to convert FLV to QuickTime supported formats:
