If this rather trivial I apologize. How we can embed very quickly a video (mp4) in a beamer slide? From what I have seen I cannot figure out the proper way.

I tried with the multimedia package (following this link) but it din't work. (The slides will be in pdf format. I use Adobe reader XI.)

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{multimedia}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{myvideo}
\movie[]{}{video.mp4}
\end{document}

I have a stupid question: Have you tried with video.mp4? – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Oct 11 '16 at 15:47
Oh! Sorry. During copy-paste 4 was somehow changed to 3:-)! I have tried with mp4 and it does not work. Thanks for the comment. I have edited the question. – Dimitris Oct 11 '16 at 15:52
As well as the \end{frame}? – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Oct 11 '16 at 15:54
I just tried and got an error message from adobe that mp4 is not a supported file type. As alternatives it let me choose files from the avi type. Can you try with such a movie? – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Oct 11 '16 at 15:57
As soon as I try I will tell you about the outcome. Thanks once again! You are right about \end{frame}. I should have created from the very begining a minimum example rather than adding commands. – Dimitris Oct 11 '16 at 16:03
I am already happy, that your example include the documentclass and packages, far from granted :) If this does not help, you could use alternative packages, see http://tex.stackexchange.com/search?q=.mp4 – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Oct 11 '16 at 16:15
