Are you using windows to display? I never got that to work, but Mac works fine... Besides, movies are not embedded (at the moment), so you need to have the movie file next to your pdf for display, and use 8.3 names, just to be on the safe side.
this is strange, mov and avi should both work on windows (since i implemented them on windows); however, sometimes an quicktime or media player update messes up the system
They (avi and mov) do work both and on both windows and linux (didn't try on Mac). I made a presentation with lots of avis in it about a year ago with ConTeXt and it works fine. Have you got the right codecs installed on your system?
Just to be sure that was the case I installed QuickTime the day before my presentation. And the movies play just fine in the QuickTime player (stand alone). When I open the pdf and reach the page with the movie, I get a Open file dialog, asking me to select the movie. When I select the movie, Acrobat tells me it is not a movie... And to anticipate these problems, I had made two different pdf-files (one with the avi and another with the mov linked in). I normally don't use Windows, and I leave the maintenance of those machines to others. Regards, Maarten
