[OS X TeX] Embedding Movie Files (Beamer)

[Gary L. Gray]

I have successfully used the movie15 package with beamer. In  
particular, the following command has worked well:

\includemovie[attach=true,autoplay,%
text={\includegraphics[width=217pt]{MovieImage}}%
]{217pt}{162pt}{Movie.mov}

where I have specified the movie dimensions that I obtained from  
QuickTime and included still shot of the movie using the text={} option.
