FLV File
An FLV (Flash Video) file is a popular file format used for delivering video content over the internet. Originally developed by Adobe, FLV files are commonly associated with Adobe Flash Player. They are known for their efficiency in streaming video content and were widely used for web-based video distribution.
How to open an FLV file:

- Many media players have built-in support for FLV files. Some examples include VLC Media Player, Windows Media Player (with suitable codecs installed), Adobe Flash Player (deprecated), and MPC-HC (Media Player Classic – Home Cinema).
2. Web Browsers:
