====== Embed movies in LaTeX-Documents ======
===== Requirements =====
Take a movie, e.g. {{:latex:movie.avi|movie.avi}} (1.5 MB), generated with the [[http://mevislab.de/|MeVisLab]]-file {{:mevislab:movie.mlab|movie.mlab}} (6 kB).

===== LaTeX-File =====
Use your preferred LaTeX-Editor to typeset {{:latex:movie.tex|this .tex-file}} (531 Bytes, really!), or just copy-paste the code below:
<code latex>
\documentclass[paper=a4]{scrartcl}

\usepackage[ansinew]{inputenc} % needed for easy input of the 'ü' in my name
\usepackage{movie15} % needed for the inclusion of the movie
\usepackage{hyperref} % prerequisite for 'movie15'

\title{Movie-Example}
\author{David Haberthür}

\begin{document}
\maketitle
\begin{figure}[htb]%
\centering%
  \includemovie[autoplay,text=movie.avi]% parameters for movie15
  {.5\linewidth}{.5\linewidth}% height and width for display of the movie
  {movie.avi}% actual movie-file
\caption{Rotating vertebrae}%
\label{mov:vertebrae}%
\end{figure}%
\end{document}
</code>
Both the .tex-file and the movie have to be in the same directory on your HD, or else you need to adjust the path to the file on line 16...
===== Result =====
After three compilations (needed by "movie15" to resolve some internals) you should now have a pdf including your movie, which is viewable in Adobe Reader((According to the "movie15"-manual the resulting files only work with [[http://adobe.com/reader/|Adobe Reader]], but most of them also work with the much faster and generally nicer [[http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/|Foxit Reader]])).

You can also download an example-file as a {{:latex:movie.pdf|pdf}} (961 kB) to see for yourself without the whole LaTeX-Stuff. A player to actually display the embedded movies has to be installed on the host-computer, so make shure to include as "basic" movies as possible (and no specialized [[http://www.apple.com/quicktime/technologies/h264/|h.264-quicktime]] files or so :)
