+ ==========================
+ The media9 LaTeX Package
+ ==========================
+
+
+Author:
+
+Alexander Grahn
+
+
+Description:
+
+This package provides an interface to embed interactive Flash (SWF)
+and 3D objects (Adobe U3D & PRC) as well as video and sound files or
+streams in the popular MP4, FLV and MP3 formats into PDF documents
+with Acrobat-9/X compatibility. Playback of multimedia files uses the
+built-in Flash Player of Adobe Reader and does, therefore, not depend
+on external plug-ins. Flash Player supports the efficient H.264 codec
+for video compression.
+
+This package is based on the RichMedia Annotation, an Adobe addition to
+the PDF specification. It replaces the now obsolete `movie15' package.
+
+*
+* Note that Adobe Reader for Linux has dropped Flash support since
+* version 9.4.2.
+*
+
+Supported PDF making workflows are:
+ * pdfLaTeX, LuaLaTeX
+ * (Lua)LaTeX --> dvips --> ps2pdf/Distiller
+ * (Xe)LaTeX --> (x)dvipdfmx
+
+The package was written in the new LaTeX3 syntax.
+
+
+Requirements:
+
+ * l3kernel (LaTeX package), version >=2011/06/19
+ * l3packages (LaTeX package), version >=2011/07/02
+ * pdfTeX, version >=1.30
+ * Ghostscript, version >=8.31 or Adobe Distiller for PS to PDF conversion
+ * dvipdfmx, version >=20080607 for DVI to PDF conversion
+ * Adobe Reader, version >=9
+
+
+Installation:
+
+MiKTeX users should run the package manager for installation.
+
+Unfortunately, `media9' is not in TeXLive. It must be installed manually
+into the local TeX-Directory-Structure (TDS) root directory along the
+following steps:
+
+1.) Download the TDS compliant package file
+http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/install/macros/latex/contrib/media9.tds.zip.
+
+2.) Find the local TDS root directory which is intended for packages
+that are not maintained by the TeXLive package manager by running
+
+ kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFLOCAL
+
+on the command line.
+
+3.) Unzip media9.tds.zip into the local TDS root directory previously
+found. Depending on the location of this directory, you may need to be
+logged in as Root/Administrator.
+
+4.) After installation, update the filename database by running
+
+ texhash
+
+on the command line. Again, Root/Administrator privileges may be required.
+
+For updating the package, repeat the steps given above.
