That’s for DPS which is essentially a legacy format and does not support facing pages. It will also work for fixed layout epub but InDesign CS6 has no support for that.

So, the real important question is, what exactly are you trying to do?

oooh ok. thanks again for your help.

I have an editor's letter for a emag for a photographer, he has a 30 sec youtube on location, he wants to embed it into his page. Is this possible? Final file save will be interactive pdf.

It's not possible to embed a YouTube video into an InDesign CS6 file. It's not a supported format.

As to why you're getting the message, give us a screen capture of the pages showing in the Pages panel. That's not an error message I'm familiar with.

Hey Steve thanks for responding, Not supported? DO you have a way to put a youtube video then into my file? I did find a few different ways but nothing really has fully worked for me yet.

I've never heard of a way of streaming a YouTube video from an InDesign when saved in any format.
