The video standard you pick will depend on two things; the quality
you need and your hardware constraints. If you are just talking about
"talking head" type video, then you can go with one of the software-
only playback standards (like MS's Video for Windows). If you need 
higher quality, say to show a technician fixing some equipment, then 
you need one of the digital video standards with hardware playback;
DVI, JPEG, MPEG, etc. For the highest quality (and cost) you will need
a Videodisc. You probably don't need external TV's to display the 
video; unless you are need to display fine detail an overlay onto a
256 color VGA display will do just fine.
