I have embed an mp4 video in the PDF file as given below:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{Singapore}
\usepackage{media9}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}

\begin{frame}\frametitle{Title}

\includemedia[
width=\paperwidth,height=0.7\linewidth,
activate=pageopen,
flashvars={aaa.mp4 &autoPlay=true}
]{}{C:/Users/name/Desktop/aaa.mp4}

\end{frame}

\end{document}

There is no compile time error in the code but after running it this massage comes along a blank pd f file....

"To view the Flash @R Technology content in this pd f file, please install the required version of Flash Player"

I would like to add here that I already have installed the latest version of Flash Player(Adobe Flash Player 12 ActiveX). So,Can anyone tell what version is required to be installed to obtain Video in pd f file.

  1. For Adobe Reader on Windows you need the Flash Player plugin for Firefox, not the ActiveX version for IExplorer. See: http://acrobatninja.blogspot.de/2013/02/flash-player-in-acrobat-family.html

  2. Your code has some errors, use the following instead:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{Singapore}
\usepackage{media9}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}

\begin{frame}\frametitle{Title}

\includemedia[
  width=\paperwidth,height=0.7\linewidth,
  activate=pageopen,
  addresource=aaa.mp4,
  flashvars={source=aaa.mp4&autoPlay=true}
]{}{VPlayer.swf}

\end{frame}

\end{document}

  • Thank You!! But what is VPlayer.swf here??? – Ragni Sah Jan 22 '14 at 12:33
  • VPlayer.swf is the video player flash component that is installed with the media9 LaTeX package. It doesn't need to be copied into the current directory. – AlexG Jan 22 '14 at 13:05
  • Your code also worked for me, even though other codes didn't. However, I can't understand what are the errors that you pointed out in his code. Care to elaborate a bit more, please? – TomCho Feb 01 '18 at 04:54
  • @AlexG Forgot to say that I meant errors other than the obvious ones: lack of addresource=aaa.mp4 and lack of VPlayer as last argument. – TomCho Feb 01 '18 at 05:02
  • @TomCho Which errors are you referring to? Note that media playback in PDF/Acrobat Reader still relies on the FlashPlayer plugin. Perhaps this ↗topic answers your questions. – AlexG Feb 01 '18 at 08:06
