Hello, despite of the possibilities using the PDF page duration commands, it is also possible to include QuickTime-Movies in a PDF presentation! A disadvantage using this feature is the decrease in portability. E.g. on a windows-PC you need QuickTime installed and - like in PowerPoint - the movie files are not embedded into the PDF-File.
The required package easymoviex.sty can be found via google... Enjoy, Matthias [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb am Mittwoch, 12.
