Just to be sure that was the case I installed QuickTime the day before
my presentation. And the movies play just fine in the QuickTime player
(stand alone). When I open the pdf and reach the page with the movie, I
get a Open file dialog, asking me to select the movie. When I select
the movie, Acrobat tells me it is not a movie... And to anticipate
these problems, I had made two different pdf-files (one with the avi
and another with the mov linked in).
I normally don't use Windows, and I leave the maintenance of those
machines to others.

Maarten
