just letting you know I too have received this error the last 2 days- it did not prevent me from adding PDF to the wire
Lets try this again

I found some issues in the Add Media Content tutorials.

In Step 1 Line 2 you have the following code
<image name="video" alias="VBUTTON" height="75%" width="75%" source="video.jpg" align="center"></image>

however in the final code, "vbutton" is the "image name"
------------------------

then in Step 2 Line 3 you have <video name="vid" width="560" height="360" controls="yes" align="center" valign="center"></video>

but in the final code there is an Alias name... alias="VID" which I believe is required for the video to play?

Just thought you might want to check that.
Thanks Ian

my concern is that if I want to have a 2 to 4 video tutorials I'll be getting upwards of 100 meg. Not sure what is acceptable for the iPad magazine.

If I use a link from a youtube video that would be ideal but I'm not sure of the coding. I saw an article about using annotations to create links in Preview with your PDF file but I assume that will take me away from the app when clicked. Are there examples of coding to embed a working youtube video in the app so the video is not stored in the wire project but plays within the magazine app?
perfect- thank you. I'm sure it won't be the last coding oversight I have
yes I've snapshotted the changes and even changed the color of the panel to make sure it was updating properly. The code was written using your editor on an iMac 10.7.4 and then viewed in fusebox on the retina display iPad where the panel is still on all pages of the pdf
