• How to Play FLV files on Mac without FLV Converter Mac

FLV is not natively supported by Mac apps like QuickTime, iMovie, iDVD, etc. nor Apple devices like iPhone, iPad. So if you want to play FLV (Flash Video) files on Mac (Mountain Lion included), you then need to use a player that can handle FLV files, or like above, convert FLV to other formats that are supported by Mac.
For FLV player, here are 2 recommendations (both of them are Free):

• VLC Media Player features a free, cross-platform media player. The VLC Mac supports a large number of multimedia formats, without additional codecs installed. It can handle FLV, WMV and VOB files to name a few.
• QuickTime with Perian installed: Perian for Mac is a free, open source QuickTime component that adds native support for many popular media formats including AVI, MKV, DivX, 3ivX, FLV, FLV1, FSV1, Flash ADPCM and many more. But Perian is currently not supported, see Perian for Mountain Lion solution.

Note: This is only for FLV playback on Mac, if you wanna do more, such as edit FLV in iMovie, manage in iTunes and transfer to iPod, iPhone or iPad, you will have to convert FLV to Mac compatible formats like MOV, M4V or MP4.
