[Latex-beamer-users] \movie command

[g.a.]

Hi all,

I started using beamer under a Kunbuntu o.s. and my first use of the command
/movie was simply perfect. Under Okular I could see the movie within the pdf
without problems.

I'm now working on Ubuntu 9.04 and I can not see anymore the movie within
the pdf.

I tried several stuff, using Okular, Acrobat and the gnome document viewer
but nothing was successful.

I read several posts that suggest to use the command \href and link to an
executable script to do the game.

I wonder why it worked so simply under Kubuntu, what kind of libraries or
configurations may I miss under my new Ubuntu ?

Any suggestion is welcome.

Best,
gianluca

Hi Gianluca,

Can you play the file itself in Gnome (VLC or so)? What format do you
use (mpg, avi, fla, ....). Have you installed texlive-full?

Please provide a little bit more information since this is rather an OS
issue than a beamer one.


Rgds,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

yes, I'm sure that beamer is working fine but I hope to find here someone
that is user of both beamer and linux...

I can play without problems the videos with mplayers, both mpg and avi, from
the shell or under nautilus or using a proper script.

no, not the full. do you think i might miss some usefull packages? of course
I have texlive and latex-beamer installed.

my impression is that it is rather an issue concerning Acrobat and Okular, a
missing package or an un proper configuration file.

thanks,
gianluca
