I don't have linux, but maybe this info helps: For the movie15 package, I have been told that linux "sort of" works, if you do the following: - Use Adobe Reader 9 (latest version). - When you first open a PDF with embedded video file in PDF the movie will only start if you click on the 'paper clip' attachment symbol and agree to open the video file. - As far as I understand it, the movie player then opens in a separate window. On Mac and Windows, it plays in the PDF itself. If you want to try a PDF with an embedded movie, I've got one online on this page: http://pages.uoregon.edu/noeckel/PDFmovie.html (see step 3 under "Creating the files"). I'd also be interested to find out how/if these instructions are accurate or if it got better/worse since I last looked at linux... Jens
