Well, you can reference external files in two ways, both requiring hyperref:

    \usepackage{hyperref}

    \href{run:movie.mpg}{ a local file link }

    \hyperbaseurl{http://www..../}
    \href{movie.mpg}{ a relative URL }	

Beyond that, PDF offers 'movie annotations' -- I don't know of a way
to create them, though, short of using the full version of Acrobat
($$$+Windows).
