If you have acrobat 6 installed, you can try:
http://www.pragma-ade.com/itdemos/internal/media/mediashow.pdf
This file accesses
- a movie - a flash - a smil - a mpeg
however,
- the smil does not work on a distance (probably bug in acrobat, resources are not picked up)
- the smil does not work stand alone on a mac
- the shockwave does not work on a mac (which associates the suffix/mime to quicktime)
on windows, things seem to work ok in standalone as well as when served on localhost with url's;
on macosx, a full screen startup looks rather strange (not centered, funny top bar)
you can download
http://www.pragma-ade.com/itdemos/internal/media/mediashow.zip
to test it locally (8 meg file). If you're on linux or mac, try this on a xp machine.
The files has
- roll over buttons (not that new, was already present) - navigational layers (also not new, already present as well) - multimedia support
The next release will support multimedia (a bit more than shown here). I have a separate demo file for that (still pondering how to distribute it). I'll see if I can write a My Way this week.
Beware: multimedia support combined with other features is not always that stable in acrobat (apart from some bugs).
Given that you have an xml file describing you media,
texexec --use=med-show --pdf thatfile.xml
will do the trick (in my version -)
This is a first step towards a multimedia server/client based on pdf. So, if an able mac user is willing to write an xslt script for converting those itunes export files into a reslib format ... (now patrick is supposed to say: yes -)
