Flash Movie Player

[EricBrian]

Does anybody know of a free flash movie player? That is, I want to embed a movie on my site. It is in mov format. However, I would like to wrap it in flash with nice controls and fit to screen.... you know, like YouTube does.

Is there such a wrapper available?

Thanks
Eric

I assume you though of just using youtube?

 

[EricBrian]

Yes, of course.

That is not an option, though.

If you just want to play flash movies (FLV files) on your Mac, there are two free players available.

• The Eltima movie player
• The Wimpy Flash Video player

However, from the sound of your post, you are trying to do something altogether different.

Do NOT use flash.

Mp4 is much better.

why? flash can be pretty good, especially if its encoded with h264 etc, plus mp4 (usually) uses quicktime on windows and thats rubbish.

As to the op's question, assuming you can encode the file already (should be part of flash iirc) there are options to use in flash although these require preloading.
I've come across nonverblaster and jwflv although I have had no use with either.
