Re: Animationen in ppower?

Hello,

despite of the possibilities using the PDF page duration commands, it is =
also=20
possible to include QuickTime-Movies in a PDF presentation! A disadvantag=
e=20
using this feature is the decrease in portability. E.g. on a windows-PC y=
ou need=20
QuickTime installed and - like in PowerPoint - the movie files are not em=
bedded=20
into the PDF-File.

The required package easymoviex.sty can be found via google...

Enjoy,
Matthias
