Hi,
I have a problem to make movie with (latest) TexLive 2011 and with
the latest Powerdot. Below is my code for the presentation. You can find
the additional files needed here:
test.ps and test.avi
http://petitlien.fr/platex
The compilation works fine with TexLive 2008 but not with TexLive 2011.
The DVIPS operation produces no complaints but the postscript file does
not include the slide on which the movie is. And the compilation to pdf
produces errors. Here is my workflow with TeXLive 2011:
latex "%1"
latex "%1"
latex "%1"
dvips -D7200 -Pcms -Ppdf -j0 -G0 "%1.dvi"
ps2pdf -dCompatibilityLevel#1.5 -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -r720
-dCompatibilityLevel=1.5 -dUseFlateCompression=true -dMaxSubsetPct=100
-dSubsetFonts=true -dEmbedAllFonts=true -dEPSCrop "%1.ps" "%1.pdf"
All files should be in the same folder.
The presentation file defense.tex is:
\documentclass[size=10pt,mode=present,paper=screen,letterpaper,landscape,english,style=myaggie,display=slides]{powerdot}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{movie15}
\begin{document}
\begin{slide}[toc=,bm=]{Overview}
\tableofcontents[content=sections]
\end{slide}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\section{Background}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\begin{slide}{Motivation}
\begin{itemize}
\pause
\item These eccentricities and the phenomenon of
\textcolor{red}{unbalanced magnetic pull} (UMP) mutually affect each
other\\[3.7mm]
\pause
\item The present work has as aims to.
\end{itemize}
\end{slide}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\begin{slide}[toc=The UMP]{More about the unbalanced magnetic pull$\ldots$}
\onslide*{1}{
\begin{itemize}
\item The UMP has two components: A \textcolor{red}{radial} component
and a \textcolor{red}{tangential} one\\[3.7mm]
\end{itemize}
}
\end{slide}
\begin{wideslide}[toc=Simulation results]{Does not work with TL2011}
\onslide*{1}{
\vspace{-0.45em}
\def\scalew{1.0}
\def\scaleh{.57}
\includemovie[toolbar,autoresume,repeat=7,text={\includegraphics[width=\scalew\textwidth,height=\scaleh\textwidth]{test.ps}}]{}{}{test.avi}
\vspace{-1.25em}
\begin{itemize}
\item This does not work.
\end{itemize}
}
\end{wideslide}
\end{document}
So basically with TeXLive 2011, the last page containing the movie never
enter the presentation file. But everything works fine with TeXLive 2008.
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Y.Calleecharan
