I've never seen a video at mass, and I question its propriety, no matter how edifying the content. More than that, I question whether canon law permits it. I don't have time to research it now, but maybe I will later.

Archbishop Myers from The Archdiocese of Newark, NJ, just had all his parishes show a video (some churches showed it right on the Sanctuary) at all their masses for the Bishop's annual appeal!!

I've been at Mass when a tape of the bishop's comments have been played as part of the homily.

In some ways, it's better than having the priest read it. In our parish, for example, our priest rarely reads bishop's statements. He puts it in the bulletin as an insert, where few people read it.

I'd be grateful for any light you could shed.

I have no information, pro or con, on this matter.

Would your objection be on the basis of the technology, or the fact that it is substituting for a homily, which Canon Law says must be given except in serious circumstances?
