Hi,

What do you mean by "work on Linux"? Are you able to show the movies under
Linux? (This would be great!) Or have you only created the movies under
Linux.

Hmm, probably I haven't the right codecs.

I tried now another one (I'm not really a movie expert) and it seems to
work (using: mencoder -noautosub -nosound -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg1video -ovc
lavc -o output.avi elf-iso.avi)

I encountered now this problem with this test file:
\starttext
  \externalfigure[output.avi][height=2em,
                               width=2em,
                             preview=yes,
                              repeat=yes]
\stoptext

a) Using ConTeXt  ver: 2003.1.31  fmt: 2003.4.30
Works ok (I think, using rdesktop I can only see the preview, I don't know
whether the playing works).

b) Using ConTeXt  ver: 2003.4.29  fmt: 2003.6.17:
systems        : begin file test at line 1
)
! Incomplete \ifx; all text was ignored after line 6.
<inserted text>
                \fi
<*> &cont-en test.tex

?
