beamer : embedded video (.avi) in presentation
It's the first time that I'm using beamer to prepare my defense presentation. This is the beamer template that I'm using : template (pdflatex version). In fact, I need to include several videos (.avi) in my presentation. I've already tried the different ways proposed in this question. None of them worked :
begin{frame}{test.video}
includemedia[activate=pageopen,
width=200pt,height=150pt]{}{resources/video.avi}
end{frame}
or
begin{frame}{test.video}
movie[width=8cm,height=4.5cm]{play the video}{video.avi}
end{frame}
or
begin{frame}{test.video}
includemedia[
width=0.4linewidth,
totalheight=0.225linewidth,
activate=pageopen,
passcontext, %show VPlayer's right-click menu
addresource=video.avi,
flashvars={
%important: same path as in `addresource'
source=video.avi
}
]{fbox{Click!}}{VPlayer.swf}
end{frame}
begin{frame}{test.video}
includemedia[
activate=pageopen,
width=200pt,height=150pt,
addresource=video.avi,
flashvars={%
source=video.avi% same path as in addresource!
% &autoPlay=true% % optional configuration
% &loop=true% % variables
}
]{}{VPlayer.swf}
end{frame}
and the last one that I tried and was unsuccessful :
begin{frame}{test.video}
includemovie{.85textheight}{.85textheight}{video.mp4}%
end{frame}
They all create a white empty box that does not do anything. I have converted the videos to .mp4, this did not help either. I have installed flash-player for adobe (version 2019.010.20091). My operating system is : macOS High Sierra V. 10.13.6. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Which PDF viewer do you use? Do the video examples in themedia9manual play?
– AlexG
Feb 20 at 11:25
I useAdobe Acrobat Reader DC (version 2019.010.20091). No, they do not work unfortunately.
– Reyhaneh
Feb 20 at 11:28
If you click the link, themedia9manual most likely opens in the Web browser, not in AR DC. Download the PDF and open it in AR DC directly. Then, the video examples should play, provided that Flash Player was properly installed.
– AlexG
Feb 20 at 11:31
Yes, they work perfectly when I open the file using AR DC.
– Reyhaneh
Feb 20 at 11:41
Ok. Now, convert your avi to MP4. Take the code from the first box in tex.stackexchange.com/a/345433/36296 and paste it into an empty *.tex file. In the code, replace the m4v file with your MP4 file, compile and open PDF in AR DC.
