Advantages of using JW FLV Player

Hi,

Since JW FLV player requires a commercial liscence i would like to know the benefits on browser systems by using this.Also will it play in all browsers without asking for a plugin to play the video.

Hi,

I don't know the advantages of this FLV player specifically, but I think the important point is that you have to use some kind of player. You can't exactly embed flv files directly, as although it's just about possible to have a player setup to play them in page, it would be really difficult to present consistently in every browser.

I'm sure if you google, you'll find some freeware flv players.

Try finding a free porn site and finding out what theirs are called. I'd bet they don't pay for theirs.

No browser can play FLVs without a Flash plugin installed. Unless the browser already has Flash installed.

The JW player requires Flash (version 9.0.124 or later is best) and JavaScript must be enabled in the browser.
