It does not finish because it is _waiting_ for a \end{document} which is missing in the attached .tex file. Nothing is wrong with (pdf)latex but your document is.
Sorry for the incomplete test.article_0.tex. I erased to much lines from the original latex file. I hope the new reduced file test.beamer_0.tex is complete. 'latex test.beamer_0.tex' fails with: (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/ms/everyshi.sty) ! No room for a new \dimen . \ch@ck ...\else \errmessage {No room for a new #3} \fi l.172 \newdimen\@MXV@start It seems that there is a conflict between pstricks and movie15. If I comment one of the next two lines: \usepackage{pstricks,pst-grad,pstricks-add} \usepackage{movie15} latex is finished succesfully. the error
Created attachment 255073 [details] test.beamer_0.tex
Reopened because of conflict between pstricks and movie15.
doesnt sound like a conflict but rather an unfortunate combination that hits the limits of TeX... see: https://groups.google.com/group/fr.comp.text.tex/browse_thread/thread/504db666d762c8ed?hl=fr&pli=1 \usepackage{etex} is suggested and should fix your problem (at least with the 2nd test file it fixes it here)
