This player offers common video player functionality and even an OSD display :). It´s built around macromedia
flash ActiveX control and that control does play the video so compliance is 100% :).
Note that FlashVideo is generally very CPU consuming so heavy bitrate video might need faster CPU accordingly.
What's New in version 1.4.0.96:
UPDATE v 1.4 nFLVPlayer now supports native flash fullscreen. There is a new mini player controls panel with autohide capability for the fullscreen mode.
There are also video file metadata display and a new video aspect ratio correction feature.
You can see information about the video file including video/audio codec and bitrate, framerate etc. The amount of information available depends on how complete is the information within the video file. FLV metadata can be injected with a third party tool like flvtool.
The new aspect ratio correction feature allows you to explicitly set a video to 4:3 or 16:9 or to fill the screen up to 4:3 or 16:9 by cutting from the sides allowing to fill a screen in the desired proportions without distorting the image.
Also nFLVPlayer now uses a different format and no external .swf file is needed anymore.

Pros: None
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: This is the best FLV player I've used.
However, it would be nice to have it remember my aspect ratio settings cuz I prefer "Stretch to 16:9."
