Hi Bruno,

It turns out it is possible to use LyX with movie15 (see earlier responses by Lorenzo and JMarc), with the caveat that the full path to the movie file must be provided. One must also use a PDF viewer that can display movies (such as Acrobat Reader 8) as the default viewer in LyX.

Hello,
Sorry i deleted the first mail so maybe I will not give a proper reply. My opinion is that you cannot generate a pdf file from a latex file containing movie15 commands using lyx. You can use lyx to export the latex code and then you will have to use the technique specified in the movie15 documentation.

At least that's the way I did it!> Gerard Ateshian ha scritto:
pdfTeX error (ext5): cannot open file for embedding.

I think that when you ask LyX to generate the pdf a latex file is
generated somewhere in /tmp/lyx_*, and it is passed through pdflatex
directly there.

As LyX doesn't know that you are including the movie it cannot make a
copy (or a link) from the file to the temporary location.

You can try to copy the movie file by hand in the temporary location, or
some similar workaround.
