They (avi and mov) do work both and on both windows and linux (didn't try on Mac). What do you mean by "work on Linux"? Are you able to show the movies under Linux? (This would be great!) Or have you only created the movies under Linux.
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? Hmm, probably I haven't the right codecs.
I tried now another one (I'm not really a movie expert) and it seems to work (using: mencoder -noautosub -nosound -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg1video -ovc lavc -o output.avi elf-iso.avi) I encountered now this problem with this test file: \starttext \externalfigure[output.avi][height=2em, width=2em, preview=yes, repeat=yes] \stoptext a) Using ConTeXt ver: 2003.1.31 fmt: 2003.4.30 Works ok (I think, using rdesktop I can only see the preview, I don't know whether the playing works). b) Using ConTeXt ver: 2003.4.29 fmt: 2003.6.17: systems : begin file test at line 1 ) ! Incomplete \ifx; all text was ignored after line 6. <inserted text> \fi <*> &cont-en test.tex ? Tobias
