CD access time is painfully slow compared to HDD access time. Do you get
this same effect if you run the presentation from the HDD?
If not, then it is a machine hardware limitation. The only way I can think
of to get it to start to run faster (no loading) would be to force
PowerPoint to preload the movie into memory. This could be done by freezing
the projector, play the movie, rewind it, unfreeze the projector, play
again. I have not tried this, so the suggestion is offered as a concept,
not a solution.
I'd recommend running all multimedia from the HD, unless there is absolutely
no other way around it.

I have embedded an mpeg on a presentation on CD. When the CD opens there
is a 1/2 second stutter as the movie runs and then everything is fine. I
have tried to increase the loading animation time but this has no effect
