I have been using movie15 for years for class presentations including movies, and now that movie15 is deprecated, I thought I’d better move to media9. So I tried a few of the simple examples I found on the web, but none of them work for me. I just get a black rectangle where the movie should be, but it looks like the processor is being overwhelmed.<br>

I am trying to play mp4 files on a couple of Macs, both running OS X Mavericks (10.9.3) and Adobe Reader 10.1.10. Could I be missing an important element in the setup like a media player? Have others been using media9? I include the simplest example I tried after my signature. Thanks.<br>
