I'm running Windows 7 - 64 bit. I was able to play the first video once. Closing the document & killing any acrobat process would not let me view it again. It looked good, but I didn't try frame by frame clicking - and can't get it back to test.
The second video also looked fine - even frame by frame. Hope this helps!
