I try to include movies in my presentations. I tried the multimedia package and the media9 package. I also tried Acrobat Reader, Foxit Reader, PDF xChange and pympress as PDF reader.
The only working solution is media9 package with Acrobat Reader and maybe Foxit (haven't installed Flash Player) or external player of course.
Multimedia support is activated in all players.
I also tried .avi and .mp4 files (h264 codec)
Overview:
multimedia package & mp4 & Acrobat Reader: video is clickable but it only appears a gray frame, nothing else
multimedia package & mp4 & Foxit Reader: just nothing
multimedia package & mp4 & pdf xChange: just nothing
multimedia package & mp4 & pympress: video starts playing but with video defect and video noise
media9 package & mp4 & Acrobat Reader: working
media9 package & mp4 & Foxit Reader: Install Flash Player (don't like to)
media9 package & mp4 & PDF xChange Reader: nothing
media9 package & mp4 & PDF pympress: nothing
multimedia package & avi & Acrobat Reader: video is clickable but it only appears a gray frame, nothing else
multimedia package & avi & Foxit Reader: just nothing
multimedia package & avi & pdf xChange: just nothing
multimedia package & avi & pympress: video starts playing but with video defect and video noise
media9 package & avi & Acrobat Reader: loading movie but not starting to play
media9 package & avi & Foxit Reader: Install Flash Player (don't like to)
media9 package & avi & PDF xChange Reader: Install Flash Player (don't like to)
media9 package & avi & PDF pympress: video starts playing but with video defect and video
I would like to solve it with the multimedia package because I don't like including the movie file into the pdf (big pdf files) and I don't like Acrobat Reader.
Any suggestions? Any help please. Thx
