FLV Player is one of the computer's most straightforward and specific video players. Although its name refers specifically to a particular format, the truth is that it can work with several of the main ones. Once you have installed this tool in its trial version on your PC, you can view most of your videos without installing codecs or add-ons.

Precisely, the enormous compatibility that this video playback platform has is one of the most outstanding issues among its features, even though it has been developed in principle to play videos in FLV format, of course. With a minimum consumption of resources within our system, we can be sure that in more than one computer, this program will become the leading player of the computer.

FLV Player, which has many videos and audio codecs that come integrated with the program itself, is capable of working with formats such as MP4, MPG, TS, VOB, and MKV, in addition to the previously mentioned FLV. Even with this software's latest updates, it is possible to play other formats such as AVC, VC-1, or H264.

An interesting issue about this program that differentiates it from the Windows Media Player, installed by default on computers with the Microsoft OS, is the constant updates. Thanks to them, with the release of new versions of FLV Player, you can be sure that you always have access to a player compatible with the new formats that appear on the market.

Once you have installed this platform, you will notice that it has a straightforward and attractive interface, which stands out for its orange buttons, making it very easy to execute each function. Thus, in milliseconds, you will have access to the usual menus such as Playback, Pause, etc.

As for the layout of the contents, we can say that on the right side of the screen, we find the sliding menu section, which has a playlist formed by the different contents that we have seen or that are in the open folder. Likewise, if you would like to open a particular content, you can do it without any problem thanks to the File browser that it has integrated.

An engaging quality of this platform is that it will allow us to add both individual files and complete folders, so if you have a folder with several video contents that you want to add to the FLV Player panel, you will be able to do it in just a second. In any case, it is also possible to delete some content in particular since the management options of this application are the traditional ones.

If you have a laptop, you will notice as soon as you start playing your videos with this program that we are in the presence of an ideal software to minimize the battery consumption of our computer. This application has been specially optimized to allow us to enjoy greater autonomy on our laptops, even when we are users who usually watch videos, movies, or series.

Finally, and going back to the different buttons this player offers, we can see the traditional gear icon on the left side of the screen that refers to the program's Settings. Although there are not too many options, the ones that appear are appreciated since they have to do with the language we choose for the audio of the videos and the language of the subtitles, in case they are available.

In summary, what we liked most about FLV Player is its compatibility with all current video formats. Even if there is one that is impossible to play, you can be sure that its developers will solve it soon. Although there are not too many options or functions, the appearance is good, and the program does not get in the way when you want to enjoy your movies, series, etc.

On the other hand, and as it is evident, the main problem with this application is that it is paid, and after the trial period is over, we will have to pay for it if we want to continue using it, which is a real shame. As for its cost, we must say that it varies by region, although it is not too high, and we can purchase it directly from the Buy button at the bottom of the left side of the screen.

In summary, we believe we are in the presence of one of the best players for Windows computers, one that we recommend trying to all users who want a superior experience to that of Windows Media Player.

Would we pay for it? Probably not, since we don't have frequent problems regarding the codecs needed to play the videos we're interested in. However, if that is your case, and you want to forget about codecs and other interruptions when watching your movies, series, and other content, it could be an excellent economical alternative.
