PDF with embedded movies
Hi everybody,
first of all apologies to those subscribed to debain-science, as they
have seen pretty much the same question few days ago.
Is there a program/library to show a PDF file with embedded movies in
Debian?
If a PDF file (say generated with latex-beamer) links to a movie, for
example as explained in
http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2007/05/msg00006.html, xpdf and
acrobat show the movie in a separate window. This is better than
nothing, but not ideal during a presentation.
It should show correctly at least one of the examples in the movie15 manual
http://ctan.mackichan.com/macros/latex/contrib/movie15/doc/movie15.pdf
or this one with embedded mp4
http://pages.uoregon.edu/noeckel/computernotes/movieExample/movie.pdf
or this other one with embedded swf
http://pages.uoregon.edu/noeckel/computernotes/movieExample/movie-swf.pdf.
If I open one of the above files with acroread, I get an error window
"Multimedia Player Finder" which asks me to download a plugin for
acroread and if I agree I get the web page
http://www.adobe.com/special/acrobat/nomediaplayer.html which tells me
that there are no plugins available for my system.
Is it possible to see such PDF files in Debian?
Best regards,
Matteo Semplice
