I am not sure I understand the problem, you mean that sites with FLV videos embedded in pages (esp. YouTube) don't work in your browser, or, do you want to play them again afterwards?
I just did something cute, I fed JMMphotos's FLV player on his site, the get-video URL of a YouTube video, and it played it. JMM's site playing a YouTube video. Woo. In iCab 3 b408. On a vintage StarMax clone. Running Mac OS 9.1.
The down side to this practice, or in fact any direct Flash playback in a browser is that you lose the original video dimensions and you get a huge, distorted video and JMMs doesn't even seem to obey aspect ratio. But what it does mean is that you can hand-roll FLV playback in 9 using some ugly tricks with saved-to-disc FLV player SWFs and custom file:// URLs :)
You might find that Macromedia's (well, Adobe's now) stand-alone Flash Player will play FLV, I have no idea. Might want to have a look. I threw one at Movie Player but it opened it as a PICT or something, an image with text in!

In reply to Message (22034)  OFF TOPIC tech question on .flv video format
By Wambob -

Hi all ... does anybody know if there's any way to play .flv (flash) videos on a Mac with OS 9? Or to convert them to another format that will play on an OS 9 machine? I'm seeing this torrent of video postings lately, but while I can download them, I can't actually play any of the videos.
Yes, I know, my computer is ancient ... but I haven't got the money right now for an upgrade.
Any advice is much appreciated.
