For Yahoo! Answers - why isn't my .flv video recognized as video?

I get the "photo - video only" error message - I directed the system to get a downloaded video from Downloaded and hit Open.

We don't know if you are using a smartphone, tablet, notebook, laptop or desktop computer, which operating system that hardware is using or if the media player you want to use can actually deal with flv files... If you can provide us more detail, we may have a chance at helping you.
