What kind of Video can I import into InDesign?

I've read that Acrobat 9 and newer can display flash video files within a PDF. I tried importing an .flv file into InDesign but it did not work. Is this possible to do? Also, are there any other types of video files that can be imported into InDesign?
The idea is to do a quick reference guide for a software application which will have an embedded flash video file showing motion capture of the application in action.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Acrobat 9 can display Flash (SWF) files well if you add the files within Acrobat. However, if you add the SWF files in InDesign and then export to PDF, the SWF files may not play, especially on a Mac. You're better off leaving a placeholder in InDesign and then adding the SWF in Acrobat to the exported PDF. For more details, see Sandee Cohen's entry:

  • What kind of videos can I use?

    I had a question, what kind of videos can i upload onto a new nano?
    See, I have a DVD of my family reunion, someone video taped it and put it on DVD. Is it legal to use that DVD?
    And I was wonering...if so, how do i get it onto the ipod? I have never used an ipod with video...so the itunes part is completely new to me.
    Just to tell you though, my XP does not play dvds....any suggestions?

    Whats t&c?
    Anyway in most contries your aloud to make backups of your DVD and rip them to watch on your iPod.
    Programms which do that include Handbrake and VisualHub.
    But if its a DVD you burned yourself, you should be able to convert the files on the DVD with either Quicktime or iSquint without any of the other programms.
    iSquint is great much faster than Quicktime and free.

  • Ok, so what kind of videos CAN I get on my Zen?

    /Ok, so what kind of videos CAN I get on my Zen?S I just bought a Zen. Been trying for 2 days to load ANY videos on my player and getting nowhere. There's probably something simply that I just don't know.
    I bought a movie and a TV episode from Itunes. Downloaded to PC. Can't get them onto my Zen. Tried Creative converter, got error. No description of the error just that the conversion was "unsuccessful". I tried several other converters from on-line. Still errors.
    I tried to copy multiple DVD's from the DVD dri've to my PC (to then I assume convert somehow to the Zen), they all say they are protected so I can't copy them.
    So what kind of videos CAN I get on my player? It's pretty useless to have video capabilities if you can't use it at all.
    Can anyone help?
    Sign me, aggravated.

    I can't help you with iTunes, because I studiously avoid that software. But check your personal messages for more help.

  • What movie file formats can be imported into iMovie?

    Can you directly import .avi, mpeg or .mov files? What about a Quicktime movie file? Just trying to figure out which file format iMovie will accept. I have a movie that was edited on Adobe Premiere and want to make sure I export the movie in the correct format.
    Thanks.

    read Jon's reply in this thread ..
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1891778?start=0&tstart=0
    keep in mind: avi nor mov are 'formats', just media wrappers = box of chocolate, you'lll never know ...
    stay within normal video standards, such as 1080i or 720p, 25/29.97fps ... mov encoded with h264 should be fine.
    and avoid fancy stuff such as surround, Dolby 5.1., 3D ........

  • What kind of video can MediaBox play?

    Hi all,
    I was trying to run media tutorial module 1 task 4 when I encountered a problem.
    The previous version project of this task couldn't run successfully due to I cannot import the media class from the lib file, so it can't compile( both in netbeans 6.7.1 or in eclipse 3.5).
    And yesterday I found the project had updated. It could compile and run smoothly in netbeans, but still there is one problem. Due to the network's problem, I couldn't access to the url that embeded in the sources. So I tried to downloaded some other flv files from other website, and I changed the url link in the source. However still it says the video could not be played.
    Is there any restriction on the type of video files?
    Wish you could help me !
    Thank you very much!

    I think that could help - http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Interviews/wyant_jfx.html

  • What kind of videos can I play on my iPod?

    Is it only videos I download from the iTMS or what?

    QT uses for ever, and you loose the sound on most .mpg videos.
    Download iSquint, it can't be done any easier:

    Just choose "optimized for iPod screen" and "Automaticly add to iTunes".

  • What kind of hdd can I put into my macbook 2.4ghz from 2008?

    As the title of the topic says. I'm thinking about upgrading my
    hard drive from 160gb to a bigger one. Can I use a 7200 rpm type
    of hard drive or what limitations should I look for?
    Thanks in advance!

    If it's the white 2008 model 4,1 you need a SATA hard drive that's 9.5mm in height. If it's the Aluminum Unibody model 5,1 then you can use a SATA 12.5mm high hard drive. That's the only limitation on hard drives.
    For a hard drive try Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=380&name=Laptop-Hard-Dr ives&Order=PRICE

  • What kind of video formats can i use to import into imovie?

    what kind of video formats can i use to import into imovie?

    Hello,
    Adobe stopped supporting flash for android since ICS. You may still be able to download the latest (old) flash player "at your own risk" from Adobe archived flash player versions:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
    Please read the disclaimer at the end as it is not advised to install unsupported flash versions.
    As for video streaming, there are lot of apps for that and it's just a matter of your preference.
    Hope that helps

  • What kind of video camera do I need to be able to import to

    I do not know what kind of video camera I need to have to import to iPhoto. My parents have a VHS camcorder. Can I use that one? Do i need to have a digital camcorder?

    Hi Katrina,
    welcome to thsi forum
    to throw in some €cents...:
    * mini-dv, nothing else
    * with the "big" brands (Sony, Canon, ...) you stay save
    * go to a shop and make some "hands on experience"... Panasonic for example is VERY small for some hands...
    * ask for a firewire-cable, 4/6pin to connect camera with your Mac (no, usb DOESN'T work)
    * that camera doesn't need any effects...- you will add this in iMovie..., so a very basic one is good enough
    * get a second battery and a tripod ;-))
    * follow any other advice given you here in this forum
    and, besides, no, vhs camcorder don't work with iM....

  • What is the maximum size of a jpg that can be imported into iPhoto?

    what is the maximum size of a jpg that can be imported into iPhoto

    I've imported and worked on Photoshop and tiff files up at 220 MB (8400 x 6600 pixels) in size.  It does take some time to do any edits, up to 7 seconds for some.   220 MB is a big file but iPhoto handles it OK.
    I do have a top of the line iMac with SSD drive so it's pretty fast.  Other Macs may be slower depending on their configuration.

  • Can't select multiple video clips to import into iMovie

    Hi, i can't select multiple video clips to import into iMovie, it only lets me import one video at a time. Apple please fix in next update or if anyone has a solution please post.

    Obviously you can not select the video to import until after iMovie populates the list of videos that are available to be imported

    Hey Luis. I not only remember…I still have mine (OS 9)!  Works perfectly well…for some things; just need to be selective about what I ask it to do.
