Using the beamer
and multimedia
packages I'm not able to reproduce videos from Adobe Acrobat Reader. For example, when I create a PDF with the next LaTeX code, which I copied from an example on the web that was supposed to work, I get the PDF but nothing reproduces.
\documentclass[]{beamer}
\usetheme{Warsaw}
\usepackage[]{graphicx}
\usepackage[]{color}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{multimedia}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{Title frame}
\movie[height = 0.6\textwidth, width = 0.8\textwidth, poster, showcontrols]{}{example.avi}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
On the other hand, if I substitute the name of the file for a non-existent one (e.g, wrongname.avi
), then in the PDF it asks me to choose another file and then I can reproduce it. Anyone has any idea of what can be happening?
Thank you!
