I need to add an .avi to my beamer-tex presentation. The other posts and the package description do not help me. I may use the media9 package. But I cannot define a relative media path.

I dont' want to embed a hyperref link or something. There is no absolute path because I will move the file from usb-stick to other computers etc.

When using this:

\begin{center}
\includemedia[
    activate=onclick,
    width=0.75\textwidth
]{\includegraphics{stan.png}}{but-wait.avi}
\end{center}

it results in a clickable picture which open my working directory and I then may select the movie-file.

I dont' know how to start solving this.

Maybe a problem of my video programs?

When I use sumatrapdf and click the picture it opens the working directory.

When I use Adobe and click the picture just vanishes within the beamer tex (nothing happens).

    (1) With media9 the video file is usually embedded into the PDF. (2) Wrong use of the \includemedia command. (2a) Video files must be in MP4+h264 format and embedded as a resource. (2b) A video player App, e.g. VPlayer.swf, must be embedded and configured to play the video file. See the media9 manual or http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/102600 for examples. – AlexG Apr 15 '15 at 09:03
  • Ok, I converted the file to mp4. It works with Adobe (not with Sumarta). I hope it will work on another PC as well. Thank you very much :) – Mac Apr 15 '15 at 11:48
