Please note that the .vlc and .flv files (and most of vid. and audio files) 
can be seen/listened whith the free "VLC Media Player" which 
can be downloaded from this url: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

It is also available (for windoze) in this present site: 
http://freenrg.info/VLC_Media_Player/ 

This very program do not need to be "installed" 
(no calling to the Windoze's Register Base is needed), 
so you can burn it into a CD or DVD along whith the vid(s) and make it self-playing. 

For Linux or Apple it should also work (perhaps whith another version of VLC)...
I'm still not using Linux. Shame on me....

Best
