Digital video may be considered as another standard ingredient of hypermedia and multimedia framworks. To employ digital video, our framework offers the class video. Apart from the usual widget creation commands, the class video has functions for reading in a video file, to play (forward) and to rewind. In addition, it offers a function to bind a framenumber to an event. Binding framenumbers to events allows for both synchronization and hyperlinking, albeit in a low level fashion.

Our video extension is based on the public domain xanim package and includes support for MPEG, AVI and Quicktime.
