I'm using it in conjunction with a firefox extension called Video Downloader (basically it lets you get video from say youtube, and then play it on your local pc)
I *think* it's registry free, but if someone could confirm that would be good (it's a typical install, then copy the folder and uninstall, and you are left withjust the program)
url for flv player is: http://www.martijndevisser.com/blog/article/flv-player-updated
I know that vlc player supposedly plays flv files (youtube and web site flash video) but I couldn't get either portable vlc or the full version to do so (I don't know if I'm missing a codec or something)
But flv player is fine, "it does what it says on the tin"
Provided of course... that it IS portable, please advise.

I can get flv files from YouTube to play just fine in VLC, its just that with most of them, VLC can't read the index.
They link they give is broken.
Vintage!
Sadly, v0.8.5 works only with Flash > 6. Up to v0.8.4 it worked with Flash v6 too. So I use a program called FLVPlayer until VLC comes back to its senses.
It stores its plugins' cache there.
The only way to stop it is to run it with these parameters:
vlc --config zero-cache
(yes, those are 2 "-").
"zero-cache" is just the name I gave to a file in which I wrote:
[main]
plugins-cache=0
