But note also that media9's author says [2]:
"Playback of multimedia files relies on Adobe Flash Player which
supports the efficient H.264 codec for video compression."
and
"Note that Adobe Reader for Linux has dropped Flash support since
version 9.4.2."
So while things may very well continue to work fine on free PDF viewers
(such as Evince, Okular, etc.), you can't rely on this for video
playback in a setting where you run a risk of Acrobat Reader being the
viewer, such as at a conference.
(FWIW: I've never dared to rely on embedded videos myself, instead
finding browser video support reliable enough to take the liberty to
flip focus to a prepared browser window that plays the video. It's not
exactly the slickest show, but I've never had an organizer object
either.)
