A number of people don't<br>
like the additional software that comes with Flash. Or that Flash<br>
requires updates so often. Where I volunteer, a number of people apply<br>

I did a Google and found recommendation on Tom's Hardware for<br>
DivX, but the one time I tried it wouldn't play web video. Apparently<br>
the website must be formatted for DivX web player, it won't play the<br>
same streaming video as Adobe Flash Player. What will play web video,<br>
won't crash, won't install adware or other crap, and free?<br>

Use one of a bazillion plugins or websites to download the .FLV file first, then use VLC to play it. If you want embedded in-browser playback, your option consists of... Flash.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
