is there any way to play FLV files in wmp?

is there a codec that i can download somewhere so i can play flv files in windows media player.

if there is not is there a free conversion tool that will let me convert some of my flv videos to a format that WMP supports. thx

 

get FLV Extract from http://moitah.net/Extracts video and audio from FLV files. The video is saved to AVI (H.263/FLV1 and VP6/FLV4 are supported) and the audio is saved to MP3.
NOTE: The AVIs will not play unless you have the right decoders. The ffdshow-tryout builds from 2006-Oct-02 or newer can decode both FLV1 and FLV4 (make sure they're enabled in the configuration dialog)
(http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=173941&package_id=199416&release_id=439904)

IMPORTANT: You must have the .NET Framework 2.0 installed to run it (available at Windows Update).

Then get VirtualDubMod from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=65889
and merge the video and audio files to be playable in WMP

Hope it will help ..
