MATLAB: Don’t video demos play on 64-bit platforms

64-bitdemoMATLAB

Video demos, accessible from the Help browser, do not play on 64-bit Windows and 64-bit Linux platforms.

Best Answer

This is a limitation of the MATLAB video demos, which require Macromedia Flash Player to run. Video demos, accessible from the Help browser, do not play on 64-bit Windows and 64-bit Linux platforms, because the Adobe Flash Player, which is required to play the videos, is not available for those architectures. For release information, see Adobe's web site at http://www.adobe.com/.
However, the videos now launch the system browser. Therefore, they will play in a 32-bit browser, which supports Flash, even on a 64-bit platform.
