Mike,
For questions like these you might be better off asking on direct-l or
alt.comp.multimedia
Generally, though, it depends on how your program runs. Having two or more
processes accessing the same device like a CD-ROM is not good, but if the
projector isn't particularly active you can probably run your media fine,
assuming you've set a decent data rate for CD-ROM playback.
Suggest you try it from CD-ROM and only consider moving them to the hard
drive if you have a problem. However, I would say that a small video
should be fine, and large videos would take up a lot of disk space (and
copying time).
