How can I embed videos in pdf so that they are playable?

 

Currently I'm exporting the pdf as interactive. However, in acrobat, when I open pdf I get the notification that this pdf's content requires flash player. 

 

 

 

 

 

My acrobat settings are as follows. 

 

 

The pdf can be accessed from here. The videos are on 2,3 and 4th pages

Use lasts summer's Acrobat release but maybe it's best not to use PDF for this, consider using a link to an external site like a YouTube or similar video in your PDF, or alternativley, use another format such as FXL ePub or InDesign's Publish Online.

Preferences > 3D and mulitmedia. Turn off use Flash Player, but that's the default and you CANNOT control what others are using. This project, unless you can fully control that player experience is doomed to failure. Follow Derek's advice and use something else.
