Unable to view F4V Files

I recorded a few of our live services using the H.264 setting in Flash Media Encoder and I now realize that I cannot view the files!. I have Flash10 loaded on the PC and I can view the FLV files but not the F4V. What can I do to view this file? I find it strange that my Flash Viewer cannot open it.

Try changing the file extension to .mov and see if QuickTime Player will open it.

I believe just having flash 10 installed isn't going to do it. That is a plugin for your browser, so you would have to setup an html page that has the code to play the .f4v file.

An easier way is to just download and use the Adobe Media Player.

I tried renaming it as a .mov, mp4, m4v,mpg. None of these worked. I will try the Adobe Media Player on the PC at the church on Sunday. Apparently when I copied the file onto my memory stick it did not copy some security information and I cannot play it back on the Media player when I downloaded it here at work.
Is the f4v a better quality video than the flv?

f4v is the H.264 implementation in flash. It is supposed to be better.

Found this this today 9/28/2011

Based on changing business conditions and feedback from our customers and partners, Adobe has made the decision to no longer actively support AdobeŽ Media Player software. Effective September 16, 2010, AdobeŽ Media Player software will no longer be available for download from the Adobe TV website. Effective December 15, 2010, Adobe Media Player will no longer be available for download from Adobe.com

You'll need some sort of Flash video player or converter. I thought the K-Lite codecs had something for that, but I'm not seeing it now.

Try downloading VLC. It's an incredible piece of software that should play just about anything you throw at it. It's a free download and I recommend it to anyone who needs to view multimedia files.

www .videolan .org

Sorry, but I can't post working links yet.

Peace.
Chris
