Adobe Media Player

Can someone give me a good source for downloading and installing the latest version of the Adobe Media Player?

I went to Adobe's site and went to the Adobe Media Player page but I did not find a link to download and install the player. Every time I click on one of their links the page just refreshes and I never get to a link that will let me download and install the player. I also went to a couple of other sites and it downloaded a zip file but when I open the zip file, I do not see any type of exe file to install the player.

Feeling kind of dumb here. I used the new features of Twilight Render and the SketchUp Animator plugin to create an flv file but now I cannot view the file because I do not have a viewer.

I think the "Adobe Media Player" is a web only thing. From their website:
Flash Media Playback is a compiled SWF file hosted on Adobe.com that can be embedded in a website. The goal of Flash Media Playback is to allow website developers to focus on the overall user experience of video on their sites with minimum time spent on the technical details of the media player.
Sounds to me like its a player that can run videos in a browser.

Just tried to email you (twice) and the message were rejected. They updated my mail server yesterday so not sure if that is the problem or not. Can you send me an email so I can see if we can get past the problem?

BTW: I tried Riva - the image is very small and the quality was not that good. So, no more flv files :(

If you use Twilight Render's video creation tool you can set the quality to a higher value.

Email sent.

I received it and tried to reply but it failed. Got to get hold of support staff in the morning.

.flv files can be played easily for free with VLC media player.

Thanks Fletch. I installed it but it looked the same as the Riva player. Unfortunately, the site I downloaded from installed a bunch of crap I had to uninstall and clean up.

Again, my real issue is the size of the image that was created. I will have to try again with just TWR and see how it compares.
