You are mixing up container formats with video and audio formats here! A .flv file can contain video encoded with h.264 and audio with mp3 for example. So your player needs to be able to 1) know how to handle the container format, and 2) be able to decode both the video and audio the file contains. Container formats like mp4 offer nice additions though, such as multiple audio tracks in different languages, chapters or subtitles. > No wonder VLC gets touted as the best thing since sliced bread.

Even though I don't like it myself (it used to have problems with embedded subs used in a lot of anime), it is what I recommend to everybody else. -- ervaqre is teh wicked
