As far as I know, this is the usual method.

However, Trevor Devore once explained that it is possible import a video
file as a videoClip and play it directly on the card.  You can position the
the movie by declaring a point location, and once playback is done the
videoClip is closed.
 play videoClip 1 at loc of grc 1

The docs say a videoClip can be QuickTime, AVI or MPEG formats.  And the
syntax for controlling a videoClip is a little wonky.
 play pause videoClip "myCoolClip.mov"
