Convert the video to a non-Flash format (excluding *.flv and *.swf). Inserting or embedding rich media (non-Flash content) in PDFs will continue to be supported. (i.e., Quicktime, MPEG, 3GPP if if H.264 encoded).

Change your preferences, but note that there's little you can do for other people. I don't recommend trying to use multimedia in a PDF.

Note that even with a non-flash format for the video, whether it will work or not is going to be nothing but a crapshoot.

If you can't control the reader app that will be used, forget it.
