writer file with embedded movie exported to pdf

In my lesson's slides I sometimes embed videos. I don't give the original to
the students but only the pdf. In the pdf the videos won't play, but looking at
the file size or its content they are still inside it.
I think that or we find a way to play the videos inside the exported pdf or the
pdf export should remove the video, maybe sobstituing it with an image taken
from he video itself. 
Leaving the video inside the pdf, without the ability to play, creates useless
huge files.
Maybe it can be an option in the "export to pdf" window.
The attached file is created in writer, just inserting a viedoclip, and the pdf
is 3586kb. Opening withh a text editor you can see 
<</Type/Metadata/Subtype/XML/Length 2863>>
stream
and other data showing that the moovie is there, but it won't play.
