Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Video in a Presentation

[balure_1986a]

I want to add a video in the frame (any video format, preferably AVI or FLV). How to add it in the frame? I have tried several things, but couldn't achieve it. There is no error while running the .tex file, but on clicking in video window, it says "cant open the Wildlife.avi file".

Is it the problem of acrobat reader or I am going somewhere wrong in writing the LaTeX syntax. Here is the sample code i tried to execute:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{animate,media9,movie15}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
  \begin{figure}
%    \movie[width=3cm,height=3cm,poster]{}{Wildlife.wmv}
%    \animategraphics[controls,autoplay,loop,scale=0.5]{10}{Wildlife}{}{}
%    \includemovie[autoplay]{Wildlife.wmv}

  \includemovie[
    poster,
    autoplay,
    externalviewer,
    inline=false,
    text={\small(sample)}
  ]{6cm}{6cm}{Wildlife.avi}

%    \flashmovie{Wildlife.wmv}
  \end{figure}
\end{frame}

\end{document}

A minimal example using the media9 package. Video files must be in FLV or H.264 (MP4) formats.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{media9}

\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{Video example}

\includemedia[
    width=6cm,height=6cm,
    activate=pageopen,
    addresource=Wildlife.flv,
    flashvars={
        source=Wildlife.flv
       &autoPlay=true
    }
]{}{VPlayer.swf}

\end{frame}
\end{document}

Example with video files, it adds two buttons for choosing between the video files.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{media9}

\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{Two videos example}

\includemedia[
    label=myVidPlayer,
    width=6cm,height=6cm,
    activate=pageopen,
    addresource=Wildlife.flv,
    addresource=Streetlife.flv,
    flashvars={
        source=Wildlife.flv %video to be shown at first
       &autoPlay=true
       &scaleMode=letterbox %useful, if videos are of different aspect ratio
    }
]{}{VPlayer.swf}

\mediabutton[mediacommand=myVidPlayer:setSource [(Wildlive.flv)]]{Wildlive}
\mediabutton[mediacommand=myVidPlayer:setSource [(Streetlive.flv)]]{Streetlive}

\end{frame}
\end{document}
