Ok, i have downloaded some videos from hulu, but for some reason, i cant get the videos to open with anything other than the built in applian FLV player. Ive tried everything i can think of. Ive installed 2 different codec packs, and tried the GOM player, but nothing else will play it. Anyone have any ideas??

The files you are viewing are FLV files, so you need an FLV player to play them. If you want them to play in other players you will need to convert them to AVI MPG or MP4.

i have tried a couple of converters including ******** and magic video converter, neither one recognizes it. and GOM plays FLV files just fine, i cant figure out why it wont play these

VLC Media Player plays virtually anything including FLVs. You can get it here http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Replay Converter (http://www.applian.com/replay-converter/index.php) works great for converting FLV files to other formats.. it's what I use to get my FLVs onto my iPhone.

tried it. it doesnt work either. like i said, for some reason, the 360p works fine, but not the 480p version.
