Flash Video (.flv)movie - basic mime type syntax
FLV format is a content file format of Shockwave Flash and as such cannot be
delivered as a free standing file. However, it can be played through a bootstrap shockwave file. In this example an .swf file
(flvplayer.swf) is used. It takes a parameter which specifies the name of the .flv file. Alternatively,
the .flv player can take a playlist (in XML and other formats) specifying a list of .flv files.
Note: some FLV player software (including the one linked above) publish/use a
JavaScript embedding mechanism for their players, and so will not function
without JavaScript enabled on the browser. The <object> element does not rely on
JavaScript so it will work under all circumstances - providing you use the
correct syntax for the media type.
