FLV support?

Is it possible to play FLV files within BTV?

Sure, just convert them to mpeg!

Re: FLV support?

Try playing an FLV file in VLC on your monitor full screen...it is horribly pixelated. Not worth the effort to play on an HTPC.

Re: FLV support?

I actually did convert a .FLV to an .AVI file some time back. Depending on the converter, you can get some pretty decent results. The resulting video looked to be on par with VCR EP quality, not terrific, but definitely watchable.

So you're saying the answer is "no, BTV cannot play FLV", right?
