Insert PDF movie links from TeX source file?

[AES/newspost]

[I asked this question already, but unsuccessfully, on comp.text.pdf,
but I think not yet on these groups. If I'm remembering incorrectly,
apologies.]

I prepare documents using TeX (Plain, not LaTeX), distill to PDF, then
insert movie links (links to .mov files) by hand using Acrobat.

If I know in advance which .mov files are going to be involved, is there
a way to insert the movie links right from the start, in the TeX source
file, and have the necessary coding survive the typesetting and
distillation processes?

Thanks for any pointers.

Doing a Google search for "tex +url +pdf" turned up HyperTeX:

Haven't tried it personally.

And exactly what did you find unsuccessful about my
response in comp.text.pdf?

Search comp.text.tex for easymovie.sty

I tried it about a month ago and it works for quicktime movie. But now
I'm using the full Acrobat 6 which can embed (not just link to) movie
in pdf file.
