FLV Container

FLV Splitter

1. Inside the Stand alone Filters - Win32 file you downloaded, you find the FLVSplitter.ax file.
2. Extract that file to a location which you won't be able to delete by accident (i.e. C:\Filters\FLV).
3. register the FLVSplitter.ax

4. If you are not familiar with how to register filters in windows:

   1. Download the un-register_helpfiles.zip  file.
   2. Extract the register_FLVSplitter.bat and un-register_FLVSplitter.bat files into the folder where you have the FLVSplitter.ax stored.
   3. Now right click the register_FLVSplitter.bat file and select run as administrator
   4. A command prompt will open, and a message will appear that the filter was registered.

5. If you want to remove the filter one day, just rund the un-register_FLVSplitter.bat file

Note: If you are getting the DllRegisterServer error code 0x80070005, then you probably didn't run register the filter as administrator.

If you extract the zip file to a different folder from where FLVSplitter.ax is stored, remember to edit the bat files to include the full path to FLVSplitter.ax (e.g. C:\Filters\FLV).
