Here is a list of top 4 free FLV Players for Windows.
Whenever we download any video from video streaming sites, it is generally downloaded in FLV format. Many media players don’t support FLV format. And hence we need Flash players to play them either offline or online.
The below mentioned 4 FLV players let you stream videos and audio efficiently and quite easily. These freeware let you watch any Flash video available on your PC, and some of these even let you open URL of any FLV videos.
Now, many of the popular media players can also play FLV files easily, but if you are looking for a dedicated FLV player, then options below are a good choice.

One limitation of Free FLV Player is that it lets you play offline FLV videos only i.e. the videos that you have stored in your local system.

Moyea FLV Player:
Next Flash player in the list is Moyea FLV Player. This Flash player is quite similar to the above mentioned AnvSoft Web FLV Player except from the fact that it lets you create playlists and lets you add any video in favorites list as well.
