AVI file not playing in Adobe DC

Post by moremath »

I have the following code to put an avi file in my beamer presentation:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}
\useoutertheme{miniframes}
%
\mode<presentation> {\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}
}
\usetheme{Madrid}
%
\usefonttheme{professionalfonts}
\usepackage{multimedia}
%
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{times}
%
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{pstricks,shadow,pst-node,color,psfrag}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{epsfig}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage[]{amssymb,epsf}
%
\makeatletter
\setbeamertemplate{footline}
{
  \leavevmode%
  \hbox{%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.333333\paperwidth,ht=2.25ex,dp=1ex,center]{author in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{author in head/foot}\insertshortauthor%~~\beamer@ifempty{\insertshortinstitute}{}{(\insertshortinstitute)}
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.333333\paperwidth,ht=2.25ex,dp=1ex,center]{title in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{title in head/foot}\insertshorttitle
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.333333\paperwidth,ht=2.25ex,dp=1ex,right]{date in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{date in head/foot}\insertshortdate{}\hspace*{2em}
  \end{beamercolorbox}}%
  \vskip0pt%
}
\makeatother
%
% Some command definitions
\newcommand{\ds}[1]{\displaystyle{#1}}
\definecolor{purple}{rgb}{0.68,0.05,0.67}
\definecolor{dkgreen}{rgb}{0.14,0.32,0.004}
\def\d{\partial}
\newcommand{\vect}[1]{\boldsymbol{#1}}
%
\title[Mathematics and Biology?]
% (optional, use only with long paper titles)
{Mathematics and Biology?}

%\subtitle
%{Include Only If Paper Has a Subtitle}

\author[Heather Moreland] % (optional, use only with lots of authors)
{Dr. Heather Moreland}
% - Give the names in the same order as the appear in the paper.
% - Use the \inst{?} command only if the authors have different
%   affiliation.

\institute[SMSU] % (optional, but mostly needed)
{Department of Mathematics and Computer Science \\
 Southwest Minnesota State University \\
 Marshall, Minnesota}
%
\date[December 7, 2015]
% (optional, should be abbreviation of conference name)
{\\ Mustang Talks \\ December 7, 2015}


% - Either use conference name or its abbreviation.
% - Not really informative to the audience, more for people (including
%   yourself) who are reading the slides online
%
% If you have a file called "university-logo-filename.xxx", where xxx
% is a graphic format that can be processed by latex or pdflatex,
% resp., then you can add a logo as follows:

\pgfdeclareimage[height=0.5cm,width=1.5cm]{logo}{SMSULogoTan}
\logo{\pgfuseimage{logo}}
%
% Delete this, if you do not want the table of contents to pop up at
% the beginning of each subsection:
%\AtBeginSubsection[]
%{
%  \begin{frame}<beamer>
%    \frametitle{Outline}
%    \tableofcontents[currentsection,currentsubsection]
%  \end{frame}
%}
%
% If you wish to uncover everything in a step-wise fashion, uncomment
% the following command:
%
%\beamerdefaultoverlayspecification{<+->}
%
\begin{document}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\begin{frame}
\titlepage
\end{frame}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Ongoing and Future Work}
{\scriptsize
\begin{itemize}
    \item Using a Hodgkin-Huxley type mathematical model of a pancreatic islet, we can simulate the initiation of electrical activity through the islet when glucose is present and thus the release of insulin.
        \begin{center}
        \movie[width=3.0in,height=2.0in,poster]{}{Pi-2Boundary.avi}
        \end{center}
    \item By investigating how variations in certain model parameters affect the initiation of the wave and the speed of the wave, we can gain insight which biological aspects are crucial in insulin secretion.  This in turn can lead to better treatments for diabetes.
\end{itemize}
}
%
\end{frame}
\end{document}
When I compile LaTex, dvi->ps, ps2pdf, I do not have the ability to play the movie. I am using WinEdt 9.1 and MikTex and Adobe DC Reader. Any assistance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
