Embedded video won't play in pdf

I've embedded a MPEG video in a CS3 document and made a pdf, checking all the boxes InDesign Help tells me to do (I checked "interactive elements" and "Multimedia: Embed all"). It plays great on my computer but brings up errors on anyone else's machine when viewing the pdf. What am I doing wrong?

That may be it. I hope Sony Vegas can save files as Quick Time. I 
can't buy a Mac just for this . Thanks for the help.

  • Embedded videos won't play on any browser (youtube will, though)

    Hi all, I'm at my wits end.  I have a fairly new computer running Windows 7 64 bit OS.   The problem is with non-Youtube embedded videos.  Flash has been playing them only on IE up until today, now it won't work in any browser (including Chrome).  (Youtube seems to work fine, embedded or not)  As an example, when looking at Facebook, any embedded Youtube video plays just fine, but all other videos only give me the black rectangle of doom.  I've just spent three hours following all the instructions here:  I've uninstalled, reinstalled, deleted the registry key in these instructions.   I've disabled ad blocking and turned off my only antivirus program (Microsoft Security Essentials).  I've tried downloading Flash Player using every browser and both 32 and 64 bit versions of the browsers.  Nothing makes the embedded videos play.  The Flash version I have is 11.6.602.171 and the little movie with the ball going by the screen shows fine, and the correct OS is showing.  I'm baffled and out of ideas.  Thanks for any help!

    There must be some other people who have encountered this same problem.

  • Embedded videos won't play in Safari on iPhone 5 iOS 8.02

    All of a sudden I can't play any embedded YouTube videos in safari from my iPhone 5. I think the issue started when I upgraded to iOS 8.02.
    I can see the screenshot of the video, and the red and white play button in safari, but it isn't clickable. I can click on the word youtube in the upper right hand corner of the picture and it will launch the YouTube app and then the video will play from the YouTube app, but never from safari anymore.
    I've tried closing the safari app, clearing safari history, resetting the iphone, downloaded Google chrome, and even tried to use my RSS reader to view the webpage. They all do the same thing, and none will let me click the play button to watch the embedded video.
    Anyone have any ideas?  This is driving me crazy!  Thanks!

    After some messing around, I found out that I can't press the red/white play button on the middle of the picture. For some reason, that isn't clickable anymore. Instead, if I press anywhere on the picture preview except for the red/white play button, then the video will play fine.
    I Don't remember having to do that before, but at least I can watch embedded videos again.

  • Html export with embedded video won't play on ipad

    Keynote 6.0 for Mac - when you export a keynote as html, if there is embedded video, the video will not play on an ios device.

    HI and welcome to Apple Discussions..
    If you didn't repair permissions after updating Safari, try that.
    Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done.
    Also, go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari. Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac.

  • Video won't play in pdf

    I've tried searching but wasn't able to find much info other than Adobe made some changes to the way it handles videos from version 8 to version 9.
    Working in Acrobat Pro - ver 9.  I added an MP4 video to a pdf document and then optimized it to version 6.  After saving it, I have no problem playing the video within the document nor does anyone else using version 9 Acrobat / Acrobat Reader.  however, no one using any version prior to 9 is able to play the video.  the first frame of the movie appears but the "Click to activate" never happens.  I'm assuming, with little evidence, this is a version issue with the codecs or something of that nature.
    can anyone shed any light on this for me?
    thanks!

    I don't do it much, but if you can attach the files to work in another application (they would have to have), that is the simplest. You may have to distribute the multimedia as separate files if you go back far enough in versions. I don't remember when they started embedding the files in the PDF. The problem you are having is that the older versions just don't have the players built in and they have to use a system player.

  • Embeded Videos won't play.

    I can play videos on Youtube just fine, but if I play them anywhere that they are embedded they don't work (like Facebook and NHl.com). I'm using Firefox 13.0.1, When I was using Firefox 12 everything was ok. I've tried Disabling my add-ons, running in safe mode and I've updated Flash to the latest version.

    You can check for problems caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and possibly downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3.

  • Embedded video won't play in any browser

    I have had a problem for a long time of videos on certain websites not playing on my MacBook Pro. I have the latest Lion OS update as well as the latest Flash update. I never have a problem with Youtube and most video plays fine but some websites, like for instance, news sites will not respond. I get a black screen with no controls or anythiing. Now I am having this problem with a site called MailChimp. I use FIrefox but it will not play in either Safari or Chrome. There must be some other people who have encountered this same problem. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

  • Videos won't play in powerpoint when connected to projector

    I've tried to find a solution for my problem online but haven't come across anyone with the same issue. I often work with powerpoint presentations with many videos in it. The videos play just fine on my laptop and also when hooked up to an external monitor, which I use when at work, both in slideshow mode and when previewing my animations. However, when I hook up my mac onto a projector the videos won't play - not on my laptop screen nor on the projected screen. I've tried rearranging the displays by draggin the menu bar to either display and also switched from mirror screens to presenter's view within powerpoint but nothing helped solve the issue. The only solution I found is to play the presentation on my windows partition - which is not really what I'm planning to do for long term...
    I'm using Powerpoint 2011 for mac and this problem has occurred using multiple projectors.
    Any help on how to solve this issue is highly appreciated!

    I had the same problem today in front of an audience with 300 people (MacbookPro OSX 10.10, Thunderbolt-VGA adapter, PPT 14.4.6).
    Here what I figured out so far:
    1. It happens when you have PPT open and connect to beamer afterwards
    2. You can resolve it (in my case) by quitting PPT and launching it WHEN connected to beamer
    3. Yet, make sure Mac does not go into sleep mode or you get a lock-screen in the waiting time. if you do so, you get back to square 1. quit PPT again 2. restart it.
    4. Also.... in one case I had to hit the volume control once to get the sound back even though movie was playing
    So in short: Connect to beamer first, then launch PPT
    I know it is only a symptom fix but it worked for me

  • Videos won't play in any browser

    Just recently, videos won't play in any browser...Safari, Firefox. etc. It seems to happen with .wmv files. I reinstalled media player, but still have the problem.
    I get this message.
    "Cannot open the file. Verify that the path and filename are correct and try again"

    First, check that Windows Media Player is set as the correct plug in - in Safari, go to help/installed plug ins. There should be a section marked 'Windows Media Player' showing 'application/x-mplayer2' and listing wmv files (amongst others).
    Sometimes these arrors are caused by DNS failures. Ensure your system is fully up to date, and enter your ISP's DNS server IP addresses (usually two of them, sometimes three) in the 'DNS servers' box on the TCP page of the Network preference pane.
    The DNS server IPs are usually supplied with the ISP's initial set up documentation, or located on the ISP's help page.
    The reason it could be a problem is that in many iterations of MacOS X, the system is extremely sensitive to how quickly a DNS search responds. DNS is the process whereby a user-provided URL is converted into the correct IP address for internet lookup, so if the video source is held on a different server and the DNS process doesn't return a valid IP address in time, you would then get an error of the sort you describe.

  • Videos won't play in Safari. Notice says, "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video." I have downloaded it, but no change. All videos play OK in firefox, but I like the controls in Safari better and want to stay with it.

  • MailOnline videos won't play in Firefox unless in safe mode although they're fine in Explorer.

    It's for my mum, honest. Firefox 25, java and flash uptodate but the Mail Online videos won't play unless I start Firefox in safemode. A large white rectangle appears but nothing else.

    You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
    If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)
