    Hit there

    Following issue i cant solve:

    I have to export a book to epub!
    In the ePub, there must be a video inside. Never done it before. I have tried to follow the steps from a video i saw: “Adding video to the EPUB”. That should be an easy day for me, finish ePub, then go for coffee with my wife and my son, BUT…

    IT DOES’NT work. Nothing is shown in the ePub. Blank!!!

    When i place the video without anchor? It works, BUT… in the end of chapter.
    When i place it anchored and “on page load”, it works, BUT… it auto-plays (without player controls), and there is actually 9 videos in the same chapter.

    I dont wanna believe in aliens, wich means, i need human help. :)

    Any thoughts?

    I am having trouble with this too. But it’s more for videos that are larger scale.

    @Kyriakos – Delete the video that you have AND the container frame.
    Drag the video that you are looking to incorporate into your document and resize them to fit. I had the white box issue and I have zero explanation for why it happened. Getting rid of it and creating a new object is the only way I’ve found to do it.

    Use the Interactive > Media tool to pick your poster frame. It should work this time.

    *My* current issue is that I have gotten it to work for 1 video, but more than one video crashes on iBooks when it gets to a page with the second video – on the iPad and for iPhone, the document insta-crashes the application. This is driving me batty. I’ve followed all compression guidelines and haven’t imported an ounce of text from any Microsoft product. The epub I have created is hefty – it’s over 300MB – but it’s still smaller than an epub with 12 videos *could* be.

    Adobe and Apple, you have me at your mercy and it’s not been fun :/
