Video To Play in PDF

Hi There!
I have a PDF that contains a video and when I try to let the video play it gives the following error: 'To view the Flash technology content in this PDF file, please install the required version of Flash Player.'
I have downloaded the latest version of Flash Player, however I still receive the same error - if someone could please assist?

I suspect you might need the other Flash Player format too. Can you follow the steps outlined here and try again?

Adobe Reader for Android to play video embedded in a PDF document.

I am a medical teacher. A large part of my teaching is technical and skills based and I have a lot of teaching video material. I distribute my material to my students as PDF documents with embedded videos. They can presently only read this on their PCs. It would be wonderful if I could place that material in a 7 inch Android tablet in their coat pockets. They could review a "how to" video and text immediately before perfoming a medical procedure. It is so easy and fast to prepare a Word text document, convert it to PDF embedded with a simple cropped video clip. Also the original word document can be updated in moments and be converted into a fresh PDF with video in a minute later to replace the one on the student computer or tablet whenever. This makes the teaching material a living text easy to keep permanently up to date. To date I have not managed to find an eReader or Tablet that that I could play an video embedded in a PDF document. The problem is Adobe Reader for Android doesn't do this. Does anyone know of any other easy way to produce documents with embedded video that can also be read on a pocket size tablet or eReader? Is Adobe going to upgrade Adobe Reader for Android to this ability sometime? Is there any other PDF reading app that can play embedded video?

GoodReader ($4.99), ezPDF Reader ($2.99) and PDF Expert ($9.99) are well rated and support many more features.

How to play the pdf embedded video on firefox

I embed video into pdf quite often, if I want everyone with Acrobat reader version earlier than 9 (6,7,8) can open it, I have to chose "Create legacy multimedia content..." when I embed the video. The problem is, when I make the pdf with Mac, usually I use mp4 video, but a lot of PC's can not open it because they don't have the codec (they have to install it first); but if I embed it with wmv, Mac users can not open it. Also the latest Firefox browser doesn't have the plug-ins for the new pdf, thus can not play the embedded video. Anyone can help? Many thanks...

Hi Philips,
Thanks for your input, but that's not the problem. I've got Flip4Mac already installed, and I have quicktime pro, so no problem for my intel based Mac running WMV under quicktime.
The problem is, I can not play the PDF embedded video WITHIN FIREFOX / SAFARI browser. Just found out that they only have plug-ins for viewing pdf files, not with embedded video.
Thanks anyway.
Adobe has not had a PDFPlugin for Mozilla Products Since OS 9. I have put in a bug about it at least once every year.
There is a PDF Browser Plugin by Shubert of Germany, that will view PDF's. Now Safari will work with the Acrobat PDFViewer Plugin and any other Browsers using Webkit including iCab. You can set SeaMonkey FireFox, Camino, to use the Adobe Reader or even Acrobat rather than a plugin.
It's sad and funny at the same time. Adobe until Acrobat came out was just a Font provider. And Adobe got started with other products on the Mac, because mac users were a little more bold and daring and would try out new technology. Acrobat on PC (Widows/DOS) wasn't accepted for another two years. Then when then got a foot in the door in the Windows world, they all but abandoned the Mac Platform.
They refuse to fix crash and performance issues on Mac for Flash. One reason why Jobs has took the stance he has about Flash on the iPad/iPhone.
But they are not the only ones. Intuit (Quicken) got started on Mac first. Then when they got toe hold in PC world they have been shafting Mac Users every since.

PDF video continues playing after leaving page

Hi all,
When I publish a video as a PDF, it plays through Adobe smoothly. However, when I click on a hyperlink within the PDF video linking to Youtube or somewhere externally, the PDF video keeps playing causing 2 audio stream overlapping.
Is there a way to pause the Captivate PDF video after leaving the page to watch a Youtube video via hyperlink?
Thanks in advance!

Use an FLYPlayback component to stream the video and when you are about to leave the frame execute its stop() method

Editing the position of a floating window video for an interactive PDF

I'm fairly new to InDesign CS5's interactive features, so forgive me if I'm making a blatant mistake. However, everything I have read about floating windows says that you can easily adjust the size and position in the Interactive PDF options dialog and I am not able to. I have no problem getting the video to play in a floating window, the problem is that I am unable to change the position settings. It is locked as "centered" though when I view the PDF, the window pops up in the upper right and extends beyond the frame of my window. How do I unlock the position settings and get it to actually play centered?
I have tried this using a placed .mov video and I also tried converting it to a F4V file, because I read those worked better, but still no luck.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Any solutions?
Thanks!

PDF (Portable Document Format) used to be a proprietary standard developed by Adobe Systems. A few years ago, they decided to make it an international standard, no longer proprietary: ISO 32000.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference.edu.html
International standards are managed by standards organizations which meet with a committee structure. As such, they are slower to adapt to new techologies.
By contrast, Adobe Digital Publishing Suite, it an active, rapidly-changing, PROPRIETARY set of applications and cloud-based services.
Both models have their advantages and disadvantages.

Streamed H.264 videos not playing correctly thru IE

I'm new at web stuff so this is probably the dopiest question yet, but here goes.
I'm setting up a web page where my clients can stream a "quick-start" QT movie. My tests have worked perfectly on my own computer (Mac Quicksilver) using Safari and QT7 Pro. It even works when I force them to play using the latest RealPlayer. My partner can't seem to view them on her PC using Explorer. So I did a test where I tried to view them through Explorer too, and I got the same problems.
From reading other threads, it seems this may have something to do with "tags." Can someone explain what tags do and what I might need to do to my videos to play more universally?

Streaming media needs special "properties" called hint tracks inside the media and is also only served from special software.
99% + of the files you view are "downloaded". They use "fast start" to begin playback as soon as enough data has downloaded so that they can play without having to re-buffer (reload) data.
QuickTime plug-in "guesses" the download progress and begins playback (if the file properties or the page code is set to "autoplay") when enough data has been downloaded.
Streaming media can't include some other neat QuickTime "tricks" (like Flash media or text tracks).
We really need some rain down our way. I just answered a knock at my door. It was three Redfish and a really skinny flounder (maybe he was standing sideways) and they asked for a drink of water.
My PDF will teach you some "tricks" and help you get the most from QuickTime Pro. Plus, it will put something other than roadkill wild hog or deer into my diet.

I want all my videos to play through one player, instead of having multiple videos!!

I would like to embed a video player into a PDF. I would like to have links in my document that, when clicked will trigger different videos to play in the ebedded video player. So In other words, I would like to have 5 videos on one page, but I want them all to play out of a single Video Player. (I don't want to have multiple video players on a page) Hopefully that makes sense. Someone please help me...I am using Acrobat X

With the default tools, not possible. However you can do it with a custom video widget (embedding the widget as a SWF file, manually adding the skin and all the videos to the Resources list, then controlling it with JavaScript).

Video not playing in Digital Editions

I've placed a video into an existing pdf and it works fine in Reader, but when I import the pdf into Digital Editions reader the video won't play. Is there something basic that I've forgotten to do?

Hi. Downloaded iphone 6.0 and my video playlists in "Music" are now gone, but their names are still there. The videos are still in "Videos" and play from there 1 at a time manually.

Hi. Downloaded iphone 6.0 and my video playlists in "Music" are now gone, but their names are still there. The videos are still in "Videos" and play from there 1 at a time manually. It gets weirder:
When looking at the empty screen with the name of my former playlist on top, if I tap the edit button on the phone, tap the + button to add a 'song' to the playlist, and then tap 'Done' without adding anything, I can see all my videos in the playlist with the red minus symbol next to each of them. But as soon as I tap 'Done' again they all disappear!
I saw on another forum that someone has had the same problem but fixed it by, and I quote
"If you go to Get Info and change the Media Kind from Movie to Music Video under the Options tab, they all now appear in the playlists!"
I'm happy this worked for him, but when I tap "File" in itunes, the "Get info" field is greyed out, so I can't test the solution proposed.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Same problem on my ipad 2...but it works well on my iphone 4s.
Can somebody help me?

How do you stop multiple Youtube videos from playing at the same time?

As of a few days ago, when I click on a youtube video, as the commercial begins to play, you can begin to hear multiple/different commercials playing at the same time. After the commercials, the same issue occurs with the main video--multiple videos are being played at the same time and are not in sync. I've updated all my plug ins and have tried the suggestion posted in the forum provided in the link below in which someone else has expressed the same issue, but nothing has worked so far. Does anyone know what can be done?
http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/youtube/5Lnikma4UqM

Are you loading those videos as Flash or HTML5? It is possible to prevent videos from playing until you click something with Flashblock for Flash or Stop Tube HTML5 for HTML5. You can also stop the commercials with Adblock Plus with an Easylist subscription.

How do I get a m4v video to play on my Mac Pro computer?

How do I get a m4v video to play on my Mac Pro computer?

Have you tried VLC? That can play virtually any media format.

Can't get Comedy Central Daily Show video to play on MacPro, but plays ok on MacBookPro. Wassup?

   I'm flummoxed. Both MacBook Pro and Mac QuadPro are now Lion.
   I can get Daily Show videos to play on the Macbook pro, but not on the MacPro, and I hardly know where to start diagnosing the problem. I've tried to compare configurations w/ FireFox, but I don't see the discrepancy, if there is one.
   I used to be able to see the video on (shows up as a solid black rectangle) the desktop in 10.5.8, then I think disappeared in snow leopard, 10.6.nn, and has remained so in 10.7.1

Try Lion forum and even Safari. Lion pulled PowerPC/Rosetta code support.
