Only if you transcode the MOV/MP4 into SWF.  That will also give you a LOT more 
control over the playing of the media as well.

Subject: [iText-questions] embedding MOV/MP4 movies without security warning

Is there a way to embed MOV/MP4 files in my document without getting the 
"yellow bar" security restrictions?  I'm not sure why my embedded 
content isn't already in the trust zone--is it the player that's untrusted?

Here's my current approach:

PdfFileSpecification fs = PdfFileSpecification.fileEmbedded(writer,
                 animation.getFile().getAbsolutePath(),
                 animation.getName(),
                 null);
writer.addAnnotation(PdfAnnotation.createScreen(writer,
                 bounds, animation.getName(), fs,
                mimeType, true));

In Adobe Reader 7, this "just works"--the movie plays in its entirety 
when the file is opened, as requested.  In Adobe Reader 9:

- the yellow security bar comes up: "Some features have been disabled..."
- when I select "Options/Trust this document" (one time or always), the 
yellow bar is dismissed but the movie does not automatically begin playing.
- when I click on the movie area (which is still shown as blank), the 
movie begins.  (On some computers, Reader crashes at this point, but I'm 
assuming that's a separate issue related to available codecs rather than 
security?)

Thanks for any pointers,
michael
