I got some .flv videos off youtube and I just noticed that Quicktime Player plays them perfectly. I don't recall this happening before. Could it have been the 7.1.6 update?

That's it. I installed Perian a long time ago. I just never noticed the .flv was one of the supported types. Thanks.

This is handy to know! Post a review of what Perian does, and how well, if you please.
