Play video from Beamer LaTeX presentation PDF
To pop up your default video player upon click in Beamer LaTeX-generated PDF, use the LaTeX syntax
\href{run:myvideo.avi}{cool video}
You must use either
- relative path (e.g. ../data/myvid.avi gfx/myvid.avi)
- fully resolved absolute path (e.g. /home/joe/data/myvid.avi)
These will NOT work
