its a Flash File. (google for it).

you can play these .flv file with VLC Media Player :wink:

or use a Flash Video Converter to convert the flash file to other formats (.avi ; .mpg...)

download the .flv video using video downloader:*addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2390/

use vlc to play flv... or u install the klite codec pack..

klite mega codec pack...............

use media player classic after installing klite mega codec pack. It is a flash video file.
