I'm really new to LaTeX and I'm not very good with computers. I'm trying to put videos into my PDF's. I'm using media9
and I've got the following going so far.
\usepackage{media9}
\includemedia[
width=0.6\linewidth,
height=0.45\linewidth,
addresource=/Users/tristanjohnson/Library/texmf/tex/latex/misc/media9/Ruinn.MP4,
activate=onclick,
deactivate=onclick,
]{Movie}{Ruinn.MP4}
\mediabutton[ mediacommand=some_dice:playPause, overface=\color{blue}{\fbox{\strut Play/Pause}}, downface=\color{red}{\fbox{\strut Play/Pause}}
]{\fbox{\strut Play/Pause}} \mediabutton[
mediacommand=some_dice:setSource [(random.mp4)] ]{\fbox{\strut random.mp4}} \mediabutton[
mediacommand=some_dice:setSource [(cube.mp4)] ]{\fbox{\strut cube.mp4}}
I merely copied and pasted the mediabutton
stuff. When I hit "Typeset" it runs without any errors. But when I click the play button nothing happens. I want the video embedded in the PDF so other people can see the video without having to have the file locally. Help?
Ruinn.MP4
resides at an uncommon place, probably within the TeX installation. Don't clutter a TeX installation with user generated documents and related files. Keep user data separate from software. – AlexG Mar 15 '13 at 8:58
