Link to video

Well, I was somewhat upset to find that Acrobat X still did not provide the option to open a video within a PDF that was hosted on the web. Embedding just makes the files too dang large. Can anyone suggest a work around?... Perhaps some Acrobat Java Script that would allow the videos to appear within a popup window via a url link?

Yes it does - as did Acrobat 9.
In the dialog that opens when you draw out your region using the Add Video tool, the field for the location of the video is intentionally labeled "Select file or insert URL..." as you can either browse for a file on your own computer - and embed it - or enter a full web address, in which case it'll be downloaded on demand. The only caveat is the URL must end in the same permitted prefix as the video files, so for example
http://my.example.web/videos/page1/videostream.php won't work
but http://my.example.web/videos/page1.flv will.

PDF links to video footage on DVD ??

I want to make a PDF document which links to several Video clips (or different chapters in one video clip). I can make the links in Acrobat no problem, but I can't make them open a .vob in a VideoTS folder (it opens Toast for some reason). So I figure I need to make individual clips compressed in some other way?
Because my projects usually go straight to DVD after creating menus of varying complexity in DVDSP, my work flow through Compressor has become reliable and un-varied. I have tweaked my favourite settings which work well for me.
But now I have to make something quite different and I'm having trouble getting my head around the enormous variety of settings and choices offered in Compressor.
I believe I can't compress these clips in mpeg-2 and author all this in a conventional DVD because of the above problem (please someone correct me if I am wrong). I think I have to compress the clips into .mov (or the like) and have all this on some sort of CD-ROM (DVD-ROM)?
If so what compression method do I choose?
I've done several experiments with a short clip representing the type of footage I have filmed. H264 gives excellent picture results, but it is jumpy on playback. QuickTime movies look dreadful.
Can someone please point me in the right (or any) direction? Right now I feel I'm going round in circles.
Cheers...
(I'm using SD DV footage, eventual output compatible to PC users)

I understand the idea to use a PDF linking to video playback, I have done this countless times for clients who want annual reports turned into interactive documents with video, graphics and photography added
As to the type of file format to use to link from the PDF's, this will depent on a number of factors, end user compatability, the overall efficiency of the users computer and your own working practices.
my comments are based with my authoring set up and the clients I supply:
Quicktime - few windows computers have QT installed, if you use this you would need to provide QT player on the disk, the user would need to install manually. H264 looks great but users machine spec has to be good
WMV - I use this when I am asked for video linked to a Powerpoint file or from PDF.s, works well reasonable image quality, I can usually run WMF files up to full screen on my clients machines.
flash - again few computers have this installed, picture quality is not as good as WMV and the image size must be kept small, the user would need to install Flash Player if not already installed
MPEG 1 - the worst image quality but the most compatable of the video formats, any PC using windows 95 and newer will play this file, I never use this as it is so poor, even though I have an expensive real time hardware encoder.
VOB - I use this when there is more video that text for the viewer to watch. VOBs are generated from an individually created DVD using DVDSP, for our users is the best image quality.
Having the icons showing 'blank' for the VOB files is normal.
Toast is launching because there is an association to Toast from the VOB's just like mov files are associated to QT player, just ignore this it wont cgange the outcome in Acrobat. My VOB's are also 'blank' and are linked to DVD Afteredit
I cant giveyou specific advice for a workflow as this is so wide open.
If I was given this job with my resources, I would link the PDF pages to WMF files which I would create in Flip 4 Mac. I would also split the project up into smaller individual files, if the publication had 10 sections I'd make 1 file for each chapter and have a starter or main page so the user can navigate with ease, they dont know they are jumping about to different files.
This is to keep the file size down as PDF's run better with more files but smaller file sizes.
My main client has 60,000 Windows XP users who can not change the set up of the computer, as the IT dept does not want the user adding extra applications or changing the set up in any way. Windows Media Player is already installed on these machines.

Signature Problems - how to keep links and video capability after inserting signature in Reader

I create inspection reports where the first page is a signed letter and the rest of the report is text, videos and links to pictures within the document (created in Adobe Acrobat X Pro). When we sign the pdf in Reader XI the links and videos no longer work. Is there a way around this?

Hi Popsickle1974,
Does this issue occur with other pdfs as well?

No summary when hovering over links and videos. its just a blank bubble what can I do?

It happened after I downloaded the firefox 3. something. Usually when you hover over a link or video it gives a description but for me its just a small blank bubble. very annoying please help

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

Linking two video clips together

I cannot find the way, how to link two video clips together so, that when moving one, the linked clip follows.
Is there a way of doing that?
The manual gives nothing with words: "linking video clips".
Message was edited by: TRST

You can't link video clips to each other. You can nest them. Put the two clips in a sequence the way you want them. Put the sequence with the two clips inside your master sequence. They will act as a single clip. That's the only way.

Clicking links in video podcasts no longer works

Until recently I have been able to click links in video podcasts and they opened the link in my default browser, Safari, 3.x. Starting about 2 - 4 days ago this same mouse action would only start and stop the podcast.

The videos play in iTunes without trouble... Shouldn't that indicate that they should play on the iPod?
Also, I know that the podcast format has not changed - I am actually the one that produces the podcast. I subscribe to be sure they are posting correctly.
A sample is:
http://www.abc3340.com/static/podcasts/news.xml
http://www.abc3340.com/static/podcasts/weather.xml
http://www.abc3340.com/static/podcasts/sports.xml
Yes, it's sad that I produce/post the podcast and don't know any more about it than this, but at this point, I'm trying to determine if something is wrong with the way they are being done (which has not changed at all) or something goofy is going on with iTunes and/or my iPod.

How do I restore thumbnail links to videos in iphoto?

how do I restore thumbnail links to videos in iphoto?

If the connection to the file is lost then you have to ask why. If the file has been moved or renamed, restore it to exactly how it was. If the link has failed because of database corruption then you're best to rebuild or restore from a back up.

Extra/Notes/ linking to video from Text files

With this new build release January 10 2006, I was wondering if the Notes engine found in the iPod Video had been updated to support "links to video files" from text files in Notes.
If yes, what is the tag?
Thnx!
JF

Looks like the Notes engine released when the iPod Video was shipped in October 2005 did not have any built-in support to link assets such as Images and Video.
Apple would need to add tags to support video and image linking in the Notes engine.
Does anyone knows when we should expect this fix to happen?

How to create text buttons that link to video?

I've finally gotten around to trying DVD SP, and even though I read the whole manual, it's not at all clear if, or how, you can create text buttons that link to the video you want to play, without displaying a clip of that video in the button itself.
I have no problem creating a text button, but I can't change the font, and editing is counter-intuitive, unlike iDVD. I'd use iDVD, but it doesn't accept .m2v files, and it seems to think that my 6 videos of about 43 minutes each are too large for a DVD+DL disc, so it won't let me burn it or save it as a disc image.
Does anyone have a way out of this conundrum, or am I SOL?
Mulder

It really isn't that hard!
As Drew said, go into your menu and click and drag to create a button rectangle. With the button highlighted, look in the property inspector at the bottom and type in the text that you want to use. Ensure that you 'include in button highlight' and then set the colour choice for selected and activated.
What you get is a simple line of text which illuminates when you roll over it, and changes colour when you click on it.
Once that is done, click on the button area again and set the target to go to the piece of video that you want to have play back.
You should also set the menu call and end jump on that track to make sure your viewer can get back to the menu.
Once that is done the menu will show as a simple piece of text (more buttons means more bits of text, and the first button will be highlighted by default) and no video will play until the button is activated.
DVDSP is definitely a steeper learning curve than iDVD but for very good reasons. You get far greater control and access to far more advanced features in DVDSP. This means that some things will seem harder, whereas in fact they are just different and the process for achieving the result you want is different. Much of what you want to know is in the manual and also in the tutorials which came with the app. Failing that there are several good online spaces where you can find a lot more information... not least of which is right here, of course!

Is there a way to "link" 2 video clips?

Hi,
I have a single 3 minute split screen video scene (in the timeline) that is made of 2 video clips. Can I link this pair of video clips?
It would make resizing easier if I only had to scale a single wire frame, instead of having to try to resize both clips to match each other for nesting?
Thanks,
humbucker

Hi Michel,
My S1 has several clips it it. I am dividing my finished video into 4 equal sections on the screen, for the entire video, and there are lots of tracks in the timeline now.
If I move S1 into S2 with just the 2 tracks I want active, it transfers perfectly as a single track.
Here is the problem. When I return to S1 and make active other tracks, the other tracks also become active in S2, overwriting the 2 tracks I want linked. Or, if I deactivate the tracks in S1, the timeline is S2 still shows the track in the timeline but blacks the screen out.
I want to be able to make 2 video clips into a single track for easier editing in S1, is that possible?
Thanks for your help,
humbucker

How to create a download link for video file?

Hello guys,
I know this is not a question directly related to OS X, but I just can't find a solution. So I was hoping that some of you might know the answer, or could recommend further reading.
I have .mov video files (video footage) on the server. I would like to make these files accessible for download, via link.
So I am wondering .... how can I create a link, which would allow people to download .mov video files from the server?
Thanks for any advice or tip.

The question is, where is the server?
Is it on its own static IP? If it is not, it likely is on a DHCP configuration.
For those with DHCP, I recommend http://www.dyndns.com as a workaround, otherwise the links given will have to change as often as every hour!
Is it on a router, or does it have a firewall turned on in its sharing preferneces? Routers and firewalls block direct access from the outside. You need to setup the web sharing access on your router or firewall before someone can access it via the web.
Is the .mov file saved via Quicktime? You would also need to provide link on your page to http://www.apple.com/quicktime so that it may be downloaded by those who don't have it. If it is another format, you'll need a link to whatever format it is.
HTML for putting the video right on the page is usually controled by the EMBED function. That's covered here:
http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/embeddedobjects/_EMBED.html
Otherwise a simple hyperlink to the file will do, once you have an open web sharing port on a static IP or dyndns controled domain.
