Hi Alan,

This is the first time read something like that. I don’t know whether
something like this exists.

https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Multimedia_Inclusion#Including_Video
contains a sample with both keys.

Using the improved lpdf-wid.lmt included in
https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2023/107599.html, both keys
work.

Sorry for the poor wording, it gets embedded. The source requires it for
generation (for the file to be embedded in the resulting PDF document).

I hope the new version is clearer now.

Many thanks for your help,
