When I enter full screen mode, I cannot go back to normal mode. Why?

This is due to a problem with the tool used to create FLV Player. We are waiting on a fix. You can try this temporary workaround solution:

  1. Close FLV Player.
  2. Find the executable file FLVPLAYER.EXE and right click on it. If you installed FLV Player with Replay Media Catcher, you'll find the executable file as C:\Program Files\Replay Media Catcher\FLVPlayer.exe. If you installed FLV Player with Replay AV, you'll find the executable file as C:\Program Files\Replay AV 8\FLVPlayer.exe.
  3. Select PROPERTIES, COMPATIBLITY, and check Run this program in compatibility mode.
  4. Then choose WINDOWS 2000.
  5. Start FLV Player.

 

When I enter full screen mode, the audio and/or video sometimes becomes choppy. Why?

This is due to a problem with the tool used to create FLV Player. We are waiting on a fix for that tool and will publish an updated version of FLV Player as soon as it becomes available.

Keep in mind that in most cases, you will not watch an FLV video in full-screen mode as most are created in a much lower resolution and will appear blurry when enlarged to full-screen.
