http://www.pragma-ade.com/itdemos/internal/media/mediashow.pdf it runs ok in acrobat 6, but somehow not in (at least my installation of) acrobat 7, so there is some horror story attached: my experience is that much of this functionality in acrobat ends up in there untested (I will look into a 'way around 7' later) this is the source file: <?xml version='1.0' ?> <!-- Author : Hans Hagen / PRAGMA ADE / www.pragma-ade.com --> rl:nameQuicktime Movie rl:mimevideo/quicktime rl:filemediashow.mov rl:pictureself rl:width8cm rl:height6cm rl:textThis movie was made while waiting for a plane transfer in San Francisco on the way back from TUG 2003 on Hawaii to Europe.

This picture is a downsampled 8 bit PNG version of the high resolution 24 bit JPEG graphic; the viewer cannot handle the original. rl:nameMP3 Soundtrack rl:mimeaudio/mpeg rl:filemediashow.mp3 mediashow.jpg rl:textThis is the soundtrack to a movie made at Pier 39 in San Francisco. The quality is rather low because no high end equipment was used. We compensate this by showing a high res graphic.
