I tried to test-view http://www/pragma-ade.com/general/uptodate/up-003-s.pdf but this failed with: "texwork.mov" cannot be found. Would you like to choose a replacement file? Then I tried \externalfigure[elf-iso.avi][height=\textheight, width=\textheight, preview=no, repeat=yes] The problem I have is that I have neither a working AVI file (the one I created with mencoder doesn't work with Quicktime or Windows Media Player due to the codec used) nor a .mov file. Windows Media player is able to play a MPEG file with the extention .avi, but Acrobat doesn't like it :-( Moreover Acrobat Reader is not able to create useful error message :-( Thus: Is it in principle possible to embed *.mpg files? This would save me a lot of work. (Somehow I failed to do so when modifying core-fig.tex) Otherwise, what is the best way to proceed? Tobias PS: Rdesktop is a nice way to access Windows from Linux :-) but Adobe could support movies in PDFs under Linux :-(
