You don’t have to actually embed movies inside the pdf, you know. 
If you use a link it will make the pdf much more manageable, the typesetting much faster and you can take advantage of Présentation. It is really great with beamer, made for the mac and has a dedicated movie view (and web view) besides the usual slide view. Switching between those views is only a key press away.

Acrobat gives a silly hand for a cursor and no laser pointer or other annotation tools that would be useful during presentation. I would consider payware if the options are right. If it could work on the iPad, even better.
