I'm struggling to figure out the best way to insert a video into InDesign, (to export it to an interactive PDF). I've tried a few tutorials without success.

There are other similar threads but I didn't find what I was looking for.
Thanks, in advance.

I agree with Bob. The tutorials you've tried don't work because they're out-of-date. And most PDF readers never ever worked with video.

Best advice I can give you is to forget the whole thing. The hoops that you...and the viewer...will have to jump through to get it to work are simply not worth it. Find another way to present your information...PDF is not going to work.

Okay, thanks for your advice. We were actually starting to suspect that the problem wasn't on our end. What do you recommend as the best way to handle a video right now?
