 * I believe that the [WP-ExtremeVideo](http://www.rossgerbasi.com/2006/01/21/extreme-video-plugin-20/)
   plug will display locally hosted *.flv’s.

 * is .flv understood by most browsers? i thought .flv was just wrapped inside some
   flash player- no?
 * i know you can download the flv files from, say, youtube- is this a player or
   a movie. i open the files in VLC but i don’t really know how or why they work.
   and hey why don’t they fast-forward?!
