status of more than one player to Required, only one of the required players may be used to play the rendition. If you

(recommended for sound clips), is played in a floating window, or is played full screen. When Floating Window is
selected, you can add a title, set the window position, and let the user resize or close the window. Note that the user's
preference settings may require (or ignore) title bar text for playback.
The window position is determined relative to the document window, application window, or, for dual-monitor
configurations, the virtual desktop or primary desktop. You may also specify the width and height of the floating
window. Click Get From Media to obtain the movie clip's dimensions, if available, and then edit as necessary.
Use this tab to choose the minimum settings for systems on which the movie clip is played.
System Requirements
For example, you can require that a user have at least a 1024-by-768 screen resolution to play the movie clip. For
options such as Play Dubbed Audio, you can select Either, Disabled, or Enabled. If you select Either, you defer to the
settings in the user's Multimedia panel of the Preferences dialog box. If you select Disabled or Enabled, the corre
sponding setting in Multimedia preferences must allow the rendition to be used. For example, if the Play Dubbed
Audio option is enabled, the rendition may be used only if the Play Dubbed Audio preference option is selected.
Use this tab to select which attributes are required for the rendition to be played. The
Playback Requirements
attributes on this tab include settings from the other tabs, letting you indicate which ones are required. For example,
if you set the volume to 50% in the Playback Requirements tab, and you don't want the rendition to be played unless
this volume level can be used, select the Required box next to Volume.
Set multimedia properties
You can specify properties for Acrobat 6.0 compatible multimedia files and Acrobat 5.0 compatible multimedia files.
For instance, you can specify the appearance of a movie's play area, and whether the movie plays once or continu
ously.
The compatibility version you choose determines the features that are available to you. For example, to include
alternate renditions with a multimedia file, you must choose Acrobat 6.0 compatibility.
