How to playback FLV files using Beyond TV?

[Soundman]

I would like to use Beyond TV to playback FLV files (flash video files).

I tried installing ffdshow + FLVSplitter.ax, as mentioned in this thread: HELP - Play flash video on a BM plugin?
This is supposed to enable the FLV decoder in any DirectShow-based application. Indeed, it does make them play in Windows Media Player, but BTV still will not play them back.

If I leave the file extension the original .flv, BTV will not even see the files. If I rename them to .AVI or .MP4, it sees them but claims they are corrupt.

Any suggestions? I like to use BTV's superb UI for all playback functions, and not have to switch to a non-10ft type player.

Thanks,
Soundman

I use this command script with VLC to convert downloaded .FLV files to MPEG:

@C:\Progra~1\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe -vvv %1 --sout-keep --sout=#gather{} --sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=1024,scale=1,acodec=mpga,ab=192,channels=2}:standard{access=file,mux=ts,dst=%1.mpg} --sout-all vlc:quit
