How to playback sound and video in Adobe Reader in Linux?

Hi one of the killer features of Adobe Acrobat is the ability to embed multimedia content in .PDF documents. (I do hope Adobe extend this functionality).
In Windows Adobe Reader plays these files back just fine (so for example you can make an audio book), but in Linux whenever a .PDF is opened containing multi media content, the application complains that no supported media player is installed.
I have real player installed, as this appears to be the only supported media player - but the acroread executable appears to be unable to find it. (Or at least it seems to not be able to use it). Where exactly is it looking for the executable? (Or is it looking for it at all?
Is there a way to play back embedded media content in PDF documents when using Linux?
I'm using Ubuntu 7.10.

Hello,
If you would like to be a part of the pre-release program for the next release of Adobe Reader on Unix, please contact Anupam Garg (agarg at adobe dot com), the Program Manager for this project.
Regards,
Rishi

  • Loss of sound and video playback on ENVY X2

    Every so often, more often than I would like, my HP Envy X2 loses sound and video playback capabilities; any ideas anybody? The concept of this machine is great and have had it for the past 9 months but this loss of sound and vision is so unpredictable and frustating...  

    Hi Brumage,
    I saw your post regarding the sound and video issues and I will be happy to help. Do you get any error messages when this happens? Have noticed if it is a particular site like YouTube or program that you are using when the issue occurs or does it occur on all programs? When you restarted the Envy X2 does the issue go away?
    I would start by suggesting that you make sure all updates have been installed through HP Support Assistant and Windows Update.
    What operating system are you running? What is your product number?

  • How do you get sound and video from a macbook pro (before 2010) onto a 2010 toshiba 40" tv?

    Any help on connecting a macbook pro (late 2009) to a 2010 toshiba 40" for both sound and video?  I have the mini-hdmi cable, but have no idea about running sound through the tv.  I can use the headphone jack, but don't know where to connect it to on the back of the tv.  Am I supposed to change any settings on the tv or computer to allow the sound to go through the tv?  thanks for any help.

    You need a stereo mini to RCA break out cable.

  • The sound and video become unsynchronized when the off-line recording was created.

    Hello,
    I recorded a 1.30 hour meeting by using Adobe Connect. I want to edit the file and split in small time. So I save the recording in local by clicking "Make Offline". When I play back the file from local, the sound and video become unsynchronized.
    Any idea and how to sort it out.
    Thanks in advance,
    Nicho

    As I recall, there is an issue with Windows 8 and the offline recording function. Not sure if you are using Windows 8, but it may be worth trying to do it on another computer.
    However, before you go down that road, know that the FLV versions of the meeting recordings are notoriously difficult to edit. If you don't need to have the recordings in a different format, I would recommend that you do the following instead (will be much faster overall).
    Take the URL for your meeting recording and add /output/YourNameHere.zip?download=zip. You can name the zip file whatever you want. This will pull the recording source files down to your local computer. Next, browse to a desired location in your Content library in Connect and re-upload that zip file. You can name it whatever you want, and even create a custom URL for it. Once it is uploaded you will have a second version of the same recording on your server. Just re-upload that zip file as many times as needed. You can then edit each version of the recording separately, allowing you to create as many versions of the recording as needed.

  • Playback problems and video freezes due to plugins being used on video clips?

    I am editing with Premiere, and dealing with playback issues and video freezes as I apply plugins to each video clip.  Not sure how to fix this problem.  I am a mac user, but I cannot upgrade my graphics card, so I am wondering how to fix this issue.

  • [Python pygame] Graphic equalizer - keeping sound and video in sync

    Hi!
    I'm writing a graphic equalizer in python and I want to use pygame for the video and audio output.
    The video display of the moving bars works great, now that I have a correct way to read samples and decode them.
    The problem now is: they're way out of sync with the audio playing in the background!
    At the moment my code, that draws the bars basically looks like this:
    # loop as long as we can get slice of the audio file for the fft
    for n_frame in range(0, len(framebuffer), fftframesz):
    clock.tick_busy_loop(t_loop)
    # t_loop was defined as fftframesz over total_frame_count
    # which means in words: t_loop is the amount of FFTs per second - or the cycles of THIS loop
    # grab the frames and perform the fft here
    ...numpy.fft.fft...
    # set the new bar heights and draw them
    for bar in bars:
    bar.update()
    # if playback has not started yet, make it so
    if not pygame.mixer.get_busy():
    musicfile.play()
    The way I'm thinking, this should be enough to keep sound and video in sync. Because we know the time that one cycle should take at most,
    we can set the clock to tick_busy_loop this time. This way we make sure that the video is not faster than the sound.
    But to me it seems that is is the other way round, i.e. that the video is slower than the sound. I already did some timing, but to no avail.
    Is there perhaps a more easy, more elegant way to make sure that image and audio are in sync?
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Thanks for your ideas. I assume you mean I should go with a $1200.00 final cut pro software. NOT.
    Sure the video will be on myspace and youtube but wether they are noticed or not is not as important as self satisfaction. I can easily split scenes into equal time zones as I said. Then drag them into clips and back all using the same camcorder. Multiple cameras and angles would be nice but this can be done on a low budget and still look good. I guess my original questions were not answered. Is there a way to determine the length of a transition and shorten the clip by that amount. Or the length of a still shot and do the same. Or perhaps they have been answered and the answer is NO WAY, and I am just not hearing it.
    I suppose reimporting a video would be great if I could use two timelines like in audio and then blank out what I don't want in the first. But I just don't think this is possible, or is it. I've been reading iMovie HD6 The Manual that should have been in the box. It's a help but doesn't take you from the beginning of a project to the final project. Exporting to imovie or idvd is not an issue. BTW I got the clips in sync as I said by leaving blank spots and placing effects over them. I could insert the proper length video in those spots but that can look silly without transitions. But then again so can transitions. This stuff is very fun and interesting and a great learning experience. If I stop now as you suggest then I am not pushing myself to the limit. But thanks for your reply.

  • Sound and video are choppy since installing Flash Player 11.3

    I'm having a problem here!  Since I updated Adobe Flash Player 11.3, the audio and video are all choppy when I play Adobe Flash game apps in Facebook!  Even when I disabled hardware acceleration, the sound and video are STILL choppy!  Even I watch a YouTube video and the sound and video are a bit choppy!  There's DEFINITELY some sound issues in Flash Player 11.3!  I'm using Firefox 13 in Windows XP SP3.  I'm wondering if you have any answers for the sound issues in FP 11.3. 

    I went through an annoying password reset process to post on here, haha, I was experiencing this issue and managed to resolve it for a flash animation I was making that was going to be sent out; thus fixing it for myself wouldn't change things for others. I know this is old, but if anyone is in this position, I hope it helps.
    I was using Swish Max for my scenario.
    Under the Export Settings, I found that by default it was using SWF Version: SWF8 - when it had the option to go up to SWF10. I changed it to 10, and set the hardware acceleration to Level 1 - Direct.
    I exported, and it still didn't work. The music was choppy as heck and terribly inconsistent with speed. I even created a preloader, which appeared to work but didn't resolve my issue.
    FINALLY, I kept it at version 10, and found that it had an option that said "Preload Content: Disabled." I set that to "At Preload Frame" and though I had a loading animation setup to do the preloading, I still placed a preloadcontent keyframe at frame 1. Then I set Hardware acceleration to Level 2-GPU and exported.
    IT WORKED. The terrible, seemingly non-fixable audio cracking lag was gone and it worked flawlessly.
    Hope this helps someone, I originally found this when I was trying to find a fix for the issue.

  • Equium-A100-147 - broken sound and video

    Hi everyone,
    I have the Equium A100-147, Its been working fine for last couple of year.
    But in the last few weeks has get problem in sound and video (broken sound and video).
    The sound is breaking and sometimes uable to listen + video breaking and so much delay due to its get so slow with so much sound distorsion etc..
    This remains after new installation (format HDD) of Wind XP unable to fix even installed new drivers.
    The Device Manager shows all drivers including audio and video working ok, d'nt know what's problem please help me.
    Thanks.

    Hi
    Something like that can happen during high HDD activity this means that the reading/writing process could affect the sound/video playback
    But usually this should not take long time
    At the other hand this can happen because of higher temperature
    High temperature can affect the CPU and GPU performance
    I think you have used this notebook for couple of month without any troubles in my opinion you should check if cooling modules and fans are clogged and could remove the dust and debris from cooling modules use compressed air spray this helps p get rid of dust
    Maybe then the notebook will run much better

  • URGENT- DOING MEMORIAL VIDEO sound and video are off when sent to iDVD

    I watch the video in iMovie and the sound and video are in sync. When I send to iDVD, the two are no longer in sync. I have made changes to the iMovie project since my last DVD burn. With the initial burn, there were no sound issues.
    I've tried all of the following:
    1. closing and reopening iMovie and iDVD
    2. resending from iMovie to iDVD
    3. readding the clip and removing the original clip from the iMovie project
    4. restarting my computer
    The only things I have not done are the following:
    1. redownloading the original video clip from my camcorder
    2. recreating the project
    3. trying a different project to see if that one has the same audio/video issue (this will be my next step)
    #2 above is literally so intense as I have a lot of editing on this. To make it clear to you, I have video footage of a memorial.... and after the memorial I chose little 20-30 second clips here and there. I don't have audio with those clips -- just iTunes music overlay.... so, those I don't need to worry about sound coinciding.... just the 30 minute clip that is the actual memorial service.
    This is time sensitive.... it is a memorial video and I don't have time to redo the thing from the beginning, especially considering how long it took me to find those 20-30 second clips of the post-memorial.
    Please help!

    Yes... I had seen that.... and, yep, have the latest software.... and even rebooted my machine thinking that maybe it hadn't been restarted since the update (can't remember how long ago the update was).
    I did a test run with a mobile size (it takes over an hour when I share with iDVD, which has been annoying with all my attempts to "fixing") file sharing with media browser and still the sound was not matched.
    I started another project alltogether in iMovie and it does not have the sound issue when sent to iDVD....
    I can copy and paste the more difficult editing I did between the "bad original copy" and my "do-over"... but, it seems to not copy exact length of each clip (it decreased it by a second each clip on the ones I copied over but that is weird since it did copy over the slowed % I had on the original) ..... see the more complex editing I have has the sound silenced and I have music overlay on that....
    I have many more to go... and can't copy text directly from one project to another... in fact, there is a lot you can't just copy over.... I have to redo the music, special effects etc. This is not going to be a walk in the park if I can't find a way to make my "bad original copy" work.
    Still looking for more suggestions (than to start all over), but will have to start over if I spend too much time making the one I have work.... then it becomes more sensical to just start over. I have quite a bit of time in the original, but if I can copy and paste the clips, that takes a majority of the work out.... but, if any of my copy and pastes somehow "corrupt" the sound sync on the portion that isn't silenced and music overlaid, then, there is a lot of work having to recreate all my edits from scratch.

  • G5 powerBook; intel cpu; recently upgraded 10.3.9 to 10.5.8 along with iLife6. After several upgrades from Apple, iMovieHD is a mess. Clip indicator runs 3 clips ahead of the sound and video. Jerky. Unusable.

    G5 PowerBook; Intel cpu; recently upgraded 10.3.9 to 10.5.8 also upgraded to iLife6. After several downloads suggested from Apple, iMovie6 is a mess. Clip indicator runs 3 clips ahead of the sound and video. Jerky. Unusable. All the movies were created with iMovie 4 and loaded all into this version and saved all in this version.
    Video card is GeForce FX 5200; Quartz Extreme: Supported: Core Image: Hardware Excelerated.
    Perhaps in the multiple downloads, Apple sent me a version that outruns my aged video card?
    Help is most appreciated

  • How stop ambient sound when video sound starts?

    I play ambient background music in my movie. I've written
    Actionscript to attach an mp3 and control the overall sound volume.
    The code to control the overall sound is:
    _global.allSounds = new Sound ();
    _global.allSounds.setVolume(50); for example
    However, in my movie there are also video clips (w/sound)
    that I have embedded using the FLVPlayback component and one of the
    designer skins. The problem? I don't know how to stop the ambient
    music when the user clicks the "Play" button on the skin. Both the
    ambient sound and video sound play at the same time creating a
    cacophony. And if the user happens to click the "mute" button on
    the skin, my _global.allSounds.setVolume() commands have no effect.
    How do I integrate the way sound is controlled by
    Actionscript vs. the way it is controlled by video components?
    Thanks.

    The obvious answer would be: remove the Beep VI that's probably in there. Please show us your code.

    The mini dvi on the MacBook will only support video, in order to get audio you'll need to a cable from the sound out port to the sound in port on the TV.

  • Acrobat 7, needed with FrameMaker 7: How do I get and install an "Adobe PDF printer instance?"

    In FrameMaker, when I try to save a FrameMaker file as a PDF file, I get the following message: "FrameMaker could not find Adobe PDF printer instance, which must be installed to execute "Save as PDF" command".  I have a sinking feeling that I deleted that printer instance from my list of printers, thinking I did not need such a printer. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling FrameMaker 7, Acrobat 7 and Reader 9. All reinstalled successfully, EXCEPT still no Adobe PDF printer instance. Thus my question: how do I get and install that Adobe PDF printer instance?
    .( I am using a new computer. I still have my old computer available, with the Adobe PDF printer instance on it. If I could find where in the old machine (Windows XP)  the files are for it, I could copy them to the new machine).
    Thanks in advance  for any advice.

    Just curious,
    What is the new machine's OS (& is it 32-bit or 64-bit)?
    Be well...

  • How to install sound and vibration toolkit 8.5

I don't know how I should install the toolkit.  I appreciate on any comments on how to install the toolkit.   I appreciate if you can help me on how to install "sound and vibration toolkit" in my machine.  

    Never mind.  I got it.
