Hi,
I was updating the wiki entry on \externalfigures
(http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/externalfigure) and noticed that I
cannot get ConTeXt to include a movie.
I tried the following
\starttext
\externalfigure[clip.mov]
\stoptext
(where clip.mov is a quicktime movie distributed with Mathematica, which I
copied to the current directory).
The movie file is 16K and the resultant PDF file is 4.5K, which means that
the movie is not embedded in the PDF (which in itself is not a problem,
because, IIUC, context does not embed the movie in the pdf file anyways).
However, when I open the file in acroread 9.5.1 (on Linux), and no movie
is shown in the pdf file.
So, does ConTeXt support including movies in pdf files, and if so, can
someone provide a minimal working example.
Aditya

It appears to be a viewer issue.
\pdfcompresslevel=0
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\starttext
\externalfigure[clip.mov][height=2cm, width=2cm, preview=yes]
\stoptext
The pdf file has
<<
/Type /Annot
/A << /ShowControls true >> /Subtype /Movie /T (movie clip.mov) /Border [ 0 0 0 ] /Movie << /Poster true /Aspect [ 56.692913385827 56.692913385827 ]
/F (clip.mov) >>
/Rect [70.867 657.6468 127.5599 714.3397]
>>
so, ConTeXt appears to be including the right annotation, but the viewer
(acroread) is not rendering the movie.

Your example works on my Mac with Adobe Reader 10.1.4, with one of my own .mov files substituted. The pdf code is the same, except with a different filename.

Thanks for checking. This means that it is a viewer issue on Linux :-(
