I am developing an application, which is reads a PDF file and displays it in webview now we have videos embedded within pdf, how to play those videos within webview like html5 did.
thanks in advance.
Webview will not detect and play the videos embedded inside the pdf. You have to parse the pdf and get the file stream and play it using MPMoviePlayerController.

I have a video embedded PDF file, I need to open it in an iPad application. But the problem now is the PDF files are readable in the iPad app and the video file is just showing as an image. Can i do something in my code to show the video, I mean something like Media Player framework in my app.
It doesn't work. You will not be able to play the video in pdf. I think embedded media is part of the current PDF spec which Adobe has not released into the open yet. Adobe holds onto the newest most advanced version to make a business case for it's Acrobat Pro line.
That being said you can try converting the .pdf to .html and then inserting the code for a video manually.
I have created a PDF viewer on iphone. Currently my app is able to detect links to web pages and buttons for navigation within PDF.
But it unable to play Audio/Video contents embedded with PDF.
I creates custom PDf which has button(link to a local video file) to play video file. But iphone can't play the video. (when I tap on button, it says "NULL file ....")
I want to know is it possible to do? and if anyone have done it please give me a help. It will be a huge help for me.
No it is not possible to play a video inside a PDF,
if you cannot play the video on an iPhone, i would suggest to convert it to a file that the iPhone can play
You can do this by using PSPDFKit.
See documentation. Its best. :)

My iPhone app has a UIWebview in which I use the embed html tag for an audio mp3 file. When the app launches, a "Q" is displayed where the embed html tag.

Is it possible to replace the Q being displayed with an image or make the Q not show up?

I want to know if I could play a mp3 file or mp4 (video) file through an UIWebView by loading a simple url request. I have already tried sending the UIWebView to a video link (e.g. http://google.com/blah.mp4) but it will flash a quick QuickTime logo and show a black screen. However in MobileSafari it streams fine. Is there anyway to play a media file through an UIWebView??!
Thanks,
Kevin
Use the HTML5 <audio> tag.
