Hats off to Lee Brimelow for posting great FLV tutorials to gotoAndLearn. Lee has a really great presentation style (as I learned watching some of the onAIR tour presentations live online), so its no wonder why Adobe hired him away from Frog. Lee's style is well-suited for discussing complicated stuff (I just watched the Papervision3D flv).

I needed to obtain an FLV player for OS X (could have gone the AIR route or just code up my own)... but I snagged Wimpy FLV Player... its good at what it does -- play FLVs.

A quick note: Wimpy has examples online of materials created by the Ringling College of Art & Design (in Sarasota). I have actually been at the school & its pretty amazing. Its also just a 15 minute hardtop down drive from my parents house. Well done.

I'd think a mac guy like you would be all over the Perian plug in

Sweet to see FLV in Quicktime player and in Movie Properties - it displays the FLV metadata

To bad the links on the page are currently wrong. To get to the tutorials copy the link address and paste it into the browser address input field and delete the first http part. The address has to start with the second http://...
