Hi all,
I have used the example available via
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq.html#MOVIE
to generate animation.mpg. I was able to open this file with mplayer.
However if I try to use it for an animated pdf it failed.
\leftline{\pdfstartlink
attr{/Border [ 0 0 0]}
user{
/Subtype /Link
/A << /Type /Action /S /Launch /F (animation.mpg) >>
} \includegraphics[width=4.0cm]{borro3.png} \pdfendlink}
The reason is that xanim (which is used when I click on borro3.png)
cannot display animation.mpg.
How can I resolve this problem ? Can I use mencoder to generate a *.mpg
which is compatible with xanim ?
Moreover, I tried movie15. Unfortunately, only Windows and Mac versions
of Adobe Reader provide the necessary plugins.

videos created with these options work with xanim:
-ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mjpeg

Christian,
Thank you very much. Now it works fine with xanim.
Just now I have installed mpeg_play
http://bmrc.berkeley.edu/frame/research/mpeg/mpeg_play.html
./mpeg_play animation.mpg
specified dither requires 8 bit display
trying -dither color
Junk at start of stream, searching for start code
This is not an MPEG video stream. (0)
Skipping movie 0, "animation.mpg" - not an MPEG stream
X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 40 (X_TranslateCoords)
Resource id in failed request: 0x4000002
Serial number of failed request: 24
Current serial number in output stream: 24
How can I resolve this issue ? I am new to mpg, avi etc.
Thanks in advance
Nils

I'd suggest to try different formats with meencoder (vcodec=xxx). Have a look at
the mencoder manpage and find '-lavcopts'. There you'll find a list of all
supported formats.
