With pdftex (LaTeX or ConTeXt) you can insert movies which are shown using Acrobat Reader. (I did test it very briefly for LaTeX and it worked.) Alternatively HTML as a "free format" would work in order to display text and movies. Browsers are available for almost every system. > is there an easy way to convert one of this formats to the video for > windows format of powerPoint? I'm not sure with PowerPoint for Windoze, but PowerPoint for MacOS X can display movies of different formats. Does PowerPoint/Win use a proprietary format for embedded movies? Claus
