I occassionally give presentations where the presentation must include embedded videos. I typically include the movie using

\externalfigure[movie.mov][height=..., width=..., preview=yes, repeat=yes]

Unfortunately, I could not find any reliable method to play such movies in linux. So, whenever I needed to make a presentation with embedded video, I would take out a rusty 9 year old Macbook and lug that around. Not anymore!
