Sure, I have used them.
The Philips ISP3004 is a solid stae MPEG video player.  The video can be
encodes as MPEG 1 or 2 and downloaded via a PC to a PCMCIA card.  Depending
on the bit rate, you use approx. 35MB/Min, so a 520MB card will hold about
15 minutes of video with synchronised audio.  The video can be brocken into
any number of clips which are indipendantly addressable to play, loop etc -
you can therefore create sequence orders in realtime interactivly.
Control is via a 9 pin RS232 serial input.  Output is via Y/C or CVBS composite
