Example: omega.tex omega.mpg omega.pdf

[user@host] pdflatex omega.tex

Example

\documentclass[12pt,landscape]{article}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{verbose,letterpaper}
\usepackage{movie15}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
Whispering-gallery mode in a quarter circle:
\begin{figure}[ht]

\includemovie[
  poster,
  text={\small(2-twist-spun.mp4)}
]{6cm}{4.8cm}{2-twist-spun.mp4}

\end{figure}
\end{document}

pdflatex movie.tex
