I think this is pretty good software, I have already made a playlist of some of my files and it worked well. I like it and prefer it

Excellent application, yes there are free ones out there but this one is very tight (well coded and well presented)

Now if only we have a Giveaway of FLASH DECOMPILER! now that would just be a dream, Flash decompiler is a superb application.

Re: Registration

I also received the expired giveaway notice when I used the registration information given in the readme.txt file.

The registration *did work* when I used the information given in the pop-up.

As an aside, many posts have mentioned VLC. This is not an “install and use immediately” type of program. I used it to setup someone’s computer to play a “Harry Potter” movie. This was not easy. Besides having do download various codec packages to find one that worked, I had to use trial and error to get the program working because I did not understand the cryptic options. On the plus side, after learning to use the controls, the final picture was very good.

#60 I had the exact same problem. (FIX INCLUDED, READ ON) There is some confusion in these posts, from the manufacturer and GAOTD. It says “Enter Registration information” not “change registration information” for us affected by whatever GAOTD registration bug. IF you enter the id/key provided after successful registration in the little popup as part of the registration exe it will not work and say it was valid till 9/26 which is stupid because that hasn’t happen and the version is still freeware no matter how many time you input it.

FIX: So I tried the same exact id/code from the readme.txt as #22 mentioned and it worked beautifully. There always seems to be a problem with the code they give you, it could be because of the line break in the little window it gives causes a problem when you copy and paste but there is defiantly an issue there. This is not the first time I have seen this. I did a file compare using TextPad and the two name/keys and they are identical it must copy a space or something weird from the pop up.

#20, No body actually reads the readme.txt since it is always the same and not useful unless they include a code that actually works in this case.

This author is actually trying to charge money for a flash player? Are you kidding me? The author should be ashamed at a blatant attempt to rape money from unsuspecting, inexperienced Internet users. This is ridiculous and should be removed.

After installing and using, I received the following message from my Firewall Application: “C:\Program Files\Eltima Software\SWF & FLV Player\swf_player.exe has modified the User inerface of the Parent explorer.exe by sending special window messages. Any program trying to modify another program using this method may be a sign of trojan actvitity.”
Eltima, can you elaborate on this activity?
