About us

We're a couple of engineers who love open source. We do video for a living, and found it highly annoying that most players don't support FLV on the desktop. We tried the free versions on the net. They suck.

We built the YouTube FLV Player 2008 for viewing FLVs on your desktop. Its very simple, straightforward, and skinnable for fun. Its free! Enjoy.

Lamplite is the umbrella brand for all the goodies we plan to contribute. LAMP comes from Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP. This is the beef stew of open source we use in our daily lives at work. The front end is usually Flash or Ajax-y HTML.

We've discovered a way to build LAMP applications on the desktop. Its very "light," hence "Lamplight." That was taken. So we grabbed "Lamplite." YouTube FLV Player 2008 (formerly AdFree FLV) is our first application.
