I am not sure what behavior to expect here, either.  I guess that is on Albert
to decide.

I was afraid you were going to say this.  The tex-file requests autostarting of
the movie in the way described by the 'beamer' latex package manual (by simply
adding the 'autostart' option).  If this does not lead to a correct pdf does
this mean it is a beamer bug?  And how did the original poster generate his
demo pdf? I have no clue.

What about the issue that a movie will not autostart if you switch to
presentation mode will showing the corresponding page?  I guess that could be
annoying if you have an autostarting movie on your first slide.

Cheers,
Oliver
