I've found that having a popup window for the movie coming in front of the acroread window was OK, and I get this both on Windows and Unix by prefixing the path to the the mpeg file with run: in the \href command. This does not work with xpdf, alas. I'm not sure that there is much value added with the movie run inside the viewer. -- Jean-Pierre
