Embed video in Help files

Is it allowed to embed video in Help files? My products always ships with detailed Help files where is explained my intent and purpose of publication and best practices how to use product. Since people like video instructions, I want to provide video at the end of written tutorial in PDF help files.

This state of affairs is indeed disappointing! It seems that we are back in the days of external players that could be incompatible, even if all are produced by Adobe.
Example:
On a MacBook (10.5.8), where I can view the all PDFs and their integrated videos successfully with Adobe Reader 9.4.
With Adobe Reader 10.1.4 on the same Mac, some videos display successfully; other videos are displayed initially, then stop unexpectedly.
If I update Reader to 10.1.7 (latest version available for Mac OS10.5.8), none of the videos display, and I get a message that I need to install Flash.
Installing Flash with the link provided in the special yellow bar at the top area of Reader fails consistently, probably because the Flash player pointed to is not compatible with Mac OS 10.5.8.
Native/smooth support for media in Reader, anyone?

After mixing a project i select bounce and burn the disc that is burned plays on any cd player but when i try to burn the wav or mp3 file that was created the resulting disc will only play in a computer this also happens with video projects help please

after mixing a project i select bounce and burn the disc that is burned plays on any cd player but when i try to burn the wav or mp3 file that was created the resulting disc will only play in a computer this also happens with video projects help please are there any settings i need to alter as it seems the wav or mp3 file i ceated is being converted to a data file somewhere between the folder and disc drive

Same thing for a movie file.. If you want to play back the movie via a DVD and a DVD player you must create a Movie DVD and not just burn files to a data DVD... as Data DVDs are just storage devices for files and therefore will only work with computers...
Movie DVDs are special formats that include things like menus and special file formats.. so they can playback via a DVD Player...
You will need a 3rd party DVD Burning app like Toast which is what i actually use.... or the more popular DVD Creator app...to create and then burn a Movie DVD that will playback on a DVD Player....

Can you embed video/audio in a captivate file?

i was wondering if it's possible to somehow embed video/audio files in a captivate slideshow so that no sidecar files are required?
or will i always need to keep seperate linked mp3 and flv files along side the captivate file?
thanks!

okay thanks shekhar for you reply : ) i don't have much experience with captivate, only flash.
i think i've figured out that when inserting an audio file (e.g. .wav) the file is actually embedded in the cptx file, meaning you don't need the .wav file as a seperate file (like for example the way linked files in indesign work).
however, for video files, i still don't know if it works the same way. are the files embedded? or linked?
let me put it this way: if i have a captivate file that has video and audio in it and i want to move the project to a different computer - do i need to take only the cptx file? or do i need to also move some media files as well?
thanks

Thanks for your suggestions. I checked to see if the options you suggested were set incorrectly but they were set to sync all. This led me to think the problem was actually in the iphone. I re-initialized the iphone and did not allow the system to restore any of the previous settings. In essence, I forced the phone to reset to factory settings. Then my video podcasts started syncing. All is well now. I did notice that I had seven podcasts selected that were "HD" presentations, and as such, are not compatible with the iphone. I don't know if this had anything to do with my earlier situation, but now I'm getting the video podcasts automatically. I'm happy. It wasn't much fun forcing the iphone to forget all of my preferences and I'm still customizing the phone now several days later. I think I have everything working and back to normal except I haven't identified any of my email accounts as of yet. Thanks for your help.

hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music' then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

I am trying to use the auto audio-sync feature. When I select the video and audio clip to be synced FCPX says its syncing them and then once finished (at 100%) no compound clip is created and the video and audio file do not sync. Any help is appreciated.

No - but I guess that Double Click on clip/sequense or ctrl-Click on it might open it.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in earlier versions there is only one.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Best ways to embed Video??

What is teh best way to embed video in DW? Quicktime, WMV,
streaming? I have tried a few with varing results across different
browsers...
And suggestions - I have seen some very cool interfaces out
there but sadly the source for the player interfaces I cannot
find..
Any help would be appreciated..
I need the ability to set auto play or not - and other
options for video in the browser window or at least in DW.
Thanks in advance

If you have the entire Studio, I would definitely convert to
Flash Video and
use the DW Insert/Flash Video dialogue to insert it. You have
a choice of
skins and you can set a lot of options .. surely the ones you
mention. Best
part is Flash Video is crystal clear with the ON2 codec in
Flash 8 and you
won't believe how small the file is, compared to the other
options.

Adobe After Effects CS5.5 Wont Show any.Avi Video. HELP!?

I have a top notch computer, from video card, to ram, to a quad core processer. All other video files work fine but my camera (insignia HD) only exports in .avi, and .Mov, so to get any of my footage into After Effects i have to use other programs to render the video file into another type of file, which hinders my quality greatly, and i just dont have the time to do that. I have seen others on youtube videos importing .Avi files but for some reason i cant. I mean i can, but it just shows up in the thumbnail picture as white with green sound waves below and plays nothing. its getting very frustrating. ive looked for answers on google but i cannot find any. Could it perhaps be a codec problem? Also my .Avi files work fine on programs such as Power Director 9, and Windows movie maker. Just not After effects.
Help Would be GREATLY appreciated, please and thankyou.

Ah, impatience. I don't understand that in you kids. When I first learned how to use AE it took a weekend to render 10 seconds of one effect on one layer. Anything better than that is like having an unholy demon in my Macintosh.
You might try dropping a note to the creators of those videos you admire. They should be happy to tell you, a blossoming filmmaker, how to use your camera. I've never heard of an insignia camera but I think you mean it shoots in AVI, not export to AVI. That would be an interesting function in a camera, an export utility. It probably shoots a highly compressed long GOP format that should be transcoded to a frame-based codec before you can use After Effects. Try looking up the wiki entry for AVI and you will see it is a 20 year-old legacy codec wrapping system that simply will not die. Surely the camera mfr's website can offer you some better help in moving your camera originals to a more robust codec? But there should be absolutely no degrading of your video when you transcode to a more useful codec. That is a fault in the settings you are using in your transcoding application.
LaRonde, bless his heart; he means well.
