I'm trying to make a pdf with videos for viewing on a Mac. I know how to do this on Linux, but have never tried viewing it on a Mac. Is there an easy way to embed the videos (I have them in any format needed), for instance media9, that will work without special players? I don't have a Mac to test this on, as it is for a presentation at a conference. I've looked at the old discussions on the topic of embedding multimedia, but as far as I've found they all concern viewing on Linux.

if you want to play a video in a pdf on a mac, it is quite easy.
There is a problem unfortunately the native app on a mac (preview.app) it is not capable on playing it. But if they allow you, you can download the adobe reader for mac and it will work.
The way to add the video is the same as you know you just only have to open it with adobe reader.
Hope this helps.
Bye

I worked with LaTeX and I created a pdf document that contains some embedded videos. The videos pop up when I click on them and this functionality works just find in Adobe Reader. But when I try to do the same on Preview it doesn't work, and it gives me this sound as if there's an error or something, just that no error is shown on the screen. Can someone know how to make Preview work with embedded videos on pdf files?

By definition, either Acrobat or Adobe Reader would be considered standards for viewing a given PDF. Since your PDF does not display the embedded video in Preview, this would indicate a bug within Preview that needs to be reported to Apple.
In addition to decribing how you created the PDF, they'd need a copy of that PDF for testing.

Is it even possible to export a .key to .pdf and keep the embedded video? When I do it I only get a still image of the video, and it won't actually play within the .pdf.
