    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

hi,

I'm trying to watch a .flv video I downloaded. I know people use VLC usually but mine doesnt do it. When I try to open it it says "mpeg_system: unable to determine stream type".
So I downladed FLV-Viewer 04. Problem is, this application doesnt even lauch. Besides it comes in a funny format, .osx. Call me ignorant but ive never seen it.
Any suggestions?

thanx

I use the Perian plug in for Quicktime. So far it's played every FLV I have tried with it. Just be sure the it has the .FLV extension on the video.
