.FLV player for Mac?

I'm experimenting with Flash, FLV, SWF, etc, & trying to figure out how I can incorporate some of my ideas.

I've searched but keep coming up with the same .FLV player I use on PCs. Unfortunately it's not Mac compatible.

Does anyone know of a Mac FLV player? (free or not)

G5 - Dual 2GHz, Mac OS X (10.4.5), Yep... I still own PC's (Vegas & Avid) too.

Saw this while I was there:

This can only play flash v7 flv files not v8flv files.

So... that's a No Go.
I definitely need one that can play v8.

Mplayer 2.0b8r5 http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/10784 CANNOT play .flv files. BUT, Mplayer 1.0pre8 rc4 http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/18580
CAN play .flv files. Weird I know.

.FLV?

I still did NOT see where either of these said they can play .FLV files.

hmmm... maybe I'm not looking hard enough.
The search continues.

It doesn't say it, but it plays it. Remember, only the Mplayer 1.0pre8 rc4 plays .flv files. http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/18580

gamedayhero...

Today must be GameDay because You're my Hero!

--I set up all my .flv's to open with MPlayer... but now I don't have an icon. Do you know how I can get a Cute Lil Icon for my Mplayer files?
