In practice, I was never able to get it to work. I think it is a more an issue with pdf readers on linux than with beamer itself. In other words, a beamer-on-Debian-produced pdf file run on a windows/mac installation of acrobat reader (or other pdf viewer) might work (I haven't tried). But in my experience, linux-produced and linux-consumed beamer presentations with video do not work. YMMV, S. -- __________________________________________________ Stefano Franchi Associate Research Professor Department of Hispanic Studies Ph: +1 (979) 845-2125 Texas A&M University Fax: +1 (979) 845-6421 College Station, Texas, USA [email protected] http://stefano.cleinias.org
