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. + + +License: + +This material is subject to the LaTeX Project Public License.
