How do you make Winamp handle .flv files?

In the DirectShow config, have you tried to select "Vertically flip Windows Media Videos"? If it was already selected, deselect it. In either case, try playing the video again.

its deselected... but i havent restarted the computer since then.

ok - sorry for the confusion.

please select the "vertically flip WMVs" option, press OK, and then try to play the video again.

playback is still off sync and pixelized/with a lot of artifacts

[jmatthews112]

is it right side up though? you may want to alter the options in preferences > video to match your screen size, to choose to sync to screen refresh rate, and to turn overlay on.

powerplayer doesnt do flv?

FLV videos upside-down

I tried the above instructions - everything worked out fine, except, that all FLV files show upside down :-( What am I doing wrong?
I checked that option "Vertically flip Windows Media videos" in Direct Show decoder confgi, but it does not seem to have an effect.

Late reply...

Upside down/flipped usually means that you're either not using the recommended FLV Splitter or the latest ffdshow, ie. probably some other system splitter/codec/filter is handling/decoding the files.

What does it show in File Info (Alt+3)?

[badda]

The "Info" Section is showing nothing,
the "Currently used filters" shows:
- MPEG Layer-3 Decoder
- VP6 Decompressor

[DJ Egg]

That means you've:
1) not installed the FLV Splitter
2) not configured latest ffdshow to handle VP6 (and probably neither FLV1 or H.263)

Please read & follow the instructions again.

Hi Egg,
thanks for the reply. I did the whole procedure again, but now the Display is really awful. Not only is it upside down, but it is full of artifacts. Now it is showing in the File Info Dialog:
ffdshow Video Decoder
MPEG Layer-3 Decoder

No FLV-Splitter :-(
What am I doing wrong? I downloaded the FLV splitter, and registered it as described above. I even get a confirmation message "DllRegisterServer in FLVSplitter.ax succeeded".

Would be very very nice to see .flv playback with the essentials pack..

@badda
Hmm. Which of the two sites did you download FLV Splitter from?
If sourceforge, then there's a "Release" and a "Release Unicode" folder inside the archive. Make sure you installed/registered the "Release Unicode" version for Win2k/XP/Vista (the "Release" version is for Win9x).

There's an actual installer available on the other site (inmatrix.com).

Other than that, I'm really not sure what you're doing wrong.

Now there's a new term. What is TVC?

(I'm having the same "no video" problem...)
