How to play youtube FLV and other FLV files better and smoother

There are lots of websites that allow download youtube.com videos into your hard disk. By default, there are no players inside Windows to play .flv format. FLV format is the file format supported by youtube. While you search on net, you will get some commercial flv players as well as some free players.

"FLV Player 1.3.3" (as on July 2nd, 2007) is such a free player. It is a very lite weight player. The file size is less than 1.5 MB. You can find more information at http://www.download.com/FLV-Player/3000-2139_4-10467081.html we know that youtube videos are generally smaller in height and width.

Problem
This FLV Player software plays the video exactly the way when played in the same size. Sometimes, you may want to play the video little larger. Here comes the problem with this software. It does not smoothen when the windows size is doubled. It pixelates.

Solution
Here we would like to give a solution to play flv smoother and better looking. There is a code http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Mega_Codec_Pack.htm called “K-lite Mega Codec” which can enable Windows Media Player to play FLV format files. With Windows Media Player you can the youtube flv or any other flv videos smoother and better. This is a freeware codec. You can download this and install it. After the installation your Windows Media Player will have the ability to play FLV files.

We do not promise that the video looks very good in big screen. However, when the size is doubled or little bigger, you can expect WMP to do good.
