Yes. The archives have several responses from me regarding this. Impress seems to have a few problems with .flv. Convert the file to a Quicktime .mov and then Insert|Object|Video|Quicktime Animation. To convert, I use WinFF: Then download the debian deb file from: http://www.winff.org/ [click Downloads] direct file is: http://winff.googlecode.com/files/winff-0.41-i386.deb and install by double-clicking in Nautilus, or from the command line: sudo dpkg -i winff-0.41-i386.deb You will also need to install ffmpeg for winff to work. Enable the Medibuntu repository: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu and then install: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ffmpeg If you run into problems, drop me a note off list.
