I have tried all the dev releases of the upcoming OO 2.0 under Linux. Last I have had in use is the 1.9.77 release. In none of these the native insertion of video file in any format that I have tried (raw, avi, xvid, divx, mpg mpeg4) has worked. It simply can't play any of the formats I throw at it. There seems to be no configuration option. Does anybody have an idea how to get this going?
I have to completely agree with the initial poster. The support of video files is absolutely essential for a presentation in the scientific community. I usually work around the ppt file problem, by simply bringing my own laptop along...

Well, I have managed to insert MPEG-1 type mpg videos in OO.o pre-2.0.
(I can convert my videos to this type with the following commands under Linux:
mencoder -of mpeg -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg1video -oac copy source.avi -o pretarget.mpg
mplayer pretarget.mpg -dumpvideo -dumpfile target.mpg
you need mplayer for this)
The good thing about this that you don't need to worry about wheter the host computer will be able to play back your videos (eg will the proper codecs be installed), because WinXP - and probably earlier Wins - can handle natively this format (through MCI) without any codecs. And if you set the bitrate (with -lavcopts vbitrate=) to 1100 kbps then you get a DivX-like quality, small filesize and continous motion of picture - even from a bare CD-ROM. So I found this format ideal for presentations.
In the OO.o pre-2.0 (maybe 1.9.76, haven't tried 77 yet) I was able to insert this type of video clips. The playback hasn't fit to fullscreen and was not perfect in all aspects but I think this is a preview version and will be improved later.
