[solved] Presentation with movies

Question

Hi guys,
in the next weeks I will have to prepare a presentation which will have regular slides but also movies as part of the slides.
I've been trying to add movies to OpenOffice Impress, I managed to install the Java Media Framework but I couldn't install jffmpeg on it as it seems not supported under x86_64..
So, the only thing I've been able to add on an OpenOffice Impress presentation is an MPEG1 video file whose I only ear the sound.. video doesn't display.
It really looks that Impress support for videos is poor.
So, what do you guys suggest? Do you know of other ways of adding videos to OpenOffice Impress?
Other alternative ways of doing that?
Thank you,
Fabio Varesano

Answer 1

It turned out that Okular does supports movies in a PDF presentation made with Latex beamer. Great!
Example code for a slide with a movie:
\frame{\frametitle{FreeIMU on a quadcopter}
\begin{center}
\movie[width=4in, height=2.8in, showcontrols=true]{}{4copter_freeimu.avi}
\end{center}
The file "4copter_freeimu.avi" have to be in the same folder of the resulting PDF file.
Thanks everybody for your help!
